Does International Law Matter?: The Role of International Tribunals in Regulating Global Order -- Caulfield

Published: 6 August 2008

The Department of Business Law and Taxation presents:

Does International Law Matter?: The Role of International Tribunals in Regulating Global Order

The Workshop intends to re-examine one of the very thorny issues at the heart of international legal scholarship -- the effectiveness of international law from the perspective of international tribunals. The Workshop will put to one side the issue of why individuals, and more importantly states, should obey international law and focus instead on the role international tribunals play in regulating particular fields or arenas of activity. This inquiry is related to the idea that there is no international 'law' since there is no international 'police force' to enforce the rulings of various international tribunals.
