Dr. Aude Gata’s lecture in Vilnius is entitled: “Does International Law exist?” The majority of states does not fully respect International Law, however, we do not live in a world of complete anarchy. In the absence of an international law code, without any international constitution, without an overarching tribunal and without international police, how can international law exist and function? Based on concrete examples, the aim of this lecture is to provide a realistic analysis of law in international affairs.
NB! The lecture will be held in a hybrid format: offline in aud. 110 and online via Zoom on December 16, at 17:00-18:30 (Lithuanian time). To participate (either online or offline), please register via the link.
