Chatham House International Law Programme Details
A critical understanding of international law is crucial to addressing 21st century challenges and opportunities. How can law be used as a vehicle to drive constructive collaboration on climate change and mobility? Are international legal frameworks sufficiently equipped for dealing with challenges such as the proliferation of armed non state actors and the risks of cyber and space conflicts? \\Chatham House is the only leading think tank with a programme dedicated to understanding the impact of international law on global affairs. From topics ranging the establishment of the United Nations to the invasion of Iraq, the institute has conducted innovative and influential research on developments in international law and governance. Through engaging leading international lawyers, the International Law Programme at Chatham House has become a leading voice on strengthening the role of international law and understanding its potential to reduce global tensions, address cross-border challenges and promote individual liberty. As Chatham House enters its second century, and as international affairs become increasingly unpredictable and complex, international law will play an ever more prominent role at the institute. \\The International Law Programme is comprised of lawyers with policy-heavy backgrounds in government, the UN, NGOs, as well as broad public international law experience. The Programme regularly convenes members of government, the private sector, legal practitioners, leading public international law academics, the international judiciary, civil society and the media. The International Law Programme is able to draw upon the expertise of the other research programmes at Chatham House and also benefits from London's reputation as a venue for dispute settlement and legal services, as well as a home of international law.
