Join tonights debate in which we will be examining the role of international law in world crises

You are invited to a debate at the University, which will reflect on the recent events in Crimea and the public’s perception of international law’s capacity to address such crises.

The language of international law dominated recent news coverage of events in Crimea. Many international lawyers condemned Russia’s ‘unlawful use of force’ and its ‘illegal annexation’ of Crimea. Academics from Southampton Law School and the University of Southampton’s Politics and International Relations department are set to debate the place of international law in the Crimean crises and ask what it means to brand Russia’s action illegal.

The event will take place on 1 May in Physics Lecture Theatre at 18.00 and panellists will include Dr Matthew Nicholson, the organiser of the event, and Dr Andrew Serdy from Southampton Law School, and Dr Kamil Zwolski, from International Relations.
