International Economic Law

A growing body of international law addresses the large number of economic issues with global impact. This includes significant legal and institutional developments in the areas of trade, foreign direct investment, sanctions, economic integration and development, business regulation and taxation, intellectual property, and issues related to the transnational movement and regulation of goods, services, labor, and capital.

Environment, Health, Science, and Technology

International law intersects with issues relating to the environment, health, science, and technology in a variety of ways. A growing number of multilateral international conventions address issues that touch on many or all of these topics. International and regional organizations are joining domestic governments in tackling these issues, which often encompass trans-border phenomena, such as climate change, natural resource exploitation, the Internet, privacy and data encryption, cyber security and crime, maritime border issues, and sustainable development.

Peaceful Resolution of International Disputes: Past, Present, and Future

2013 marks the 100th anniversary of American industrialist and ASIL founder Andrew Carnegie's gift of the Peace Palace to The Hague and the world community, realizing his vision of a forum for the peaceful resolution of international disputes. As part of the centenary events, the Society is pleased to host Judges Stephen Schwebel and Thomas Buergenthal, both formerly of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), housed at the Peace Palace, to reflect on the Court's impact, legacy, and continued role today and into the future.
