2025 ASIL Annual Meeting

Online Registration

From April 16-18, 2025, the American Society of International Law will convene its 119th Annual Meeting with the theme, "Traditions and Transitions in International Law."

The international legal order is faced with both longstanding and novel challenges presented by changing cultural norms, climate and biodiversity crises, the resurgence of international armed conflict, democratic backsliding, revitalized nationalism, the ubiquity of big data, and groundbreaking technological innovations. While traditional international law and institutions have proven resilient in addressing some of these challenges, transitions are emerging in areas where existing frameworks may not be achieving the shared goals of the international community.

The 2025 ASIL Annual Meeting will question the efficacy of our international law traditions and the impact of ongoing transitions in the existing world order. Which traditional elements of international law and institutions remain effective, and which may not be fit for purpose? What can we learn from ongoing transitions for addressing contemporary challenges? Of which transitions should we be skeptical and why? What insights can non-lawyers such as diplomats, journalists, natural and social scientists, technology experts, commercial actors and artists offer as we probe the efficacy of traditions and transitions in international law?

The Society’s 119th Annual Meeting will be a forum for international lawyers from all sectors of the profession, policymakers, and experts from other fields to reflect on the implications of traditions and transitions in international law.
