CONFERENCE ON EMERGING TRENDS IN INTERNATIONAL LAW @ JEMTEC SCHOOL OF LAW, GREATER NOIDA [APRIL 21, 2018]

JIMS Engineering Management Technical Campus (JEMTEC)- School of Law , Greater Noida is conducting a One Day National Conference on ‘Emerging Trends in International Law: Issues & Challenges‘ on 21st April 2018, at JIMS Engineering Management Technical Campus (JMTEC)-School of Law and seeks your participation in this intellectual endeavour.

About The Conference:

International Law seeks to achieve peaceful and sustainable coexistence worldwide. However, the attainment of peace and tranquility in the present scenario is a serious global challenge. We need to rethink about the current International Law, its institutional and normative structure, functions and their shortcomings.

Progressive development and codification of International Law has developed international entities like States, Trans border Organisations, Multinational Corporations that are paving way for globalization and easy accessibility across the globe.

It is a known fact that none of the nations can survive in seclusion and there is an obligation to establish a well knitted inter-state relationship. There is a constant strife between new international economic order and traditional interpretation of international principles.

Establishment of United Nations has also segregated bi-polar world into a non-aligned globe for protecting the future generations. International Law is blamed to favour developed nations rather than LDCs or the third world countries. In modern age of technological advancement and rise of new treaty based International Law from its traditional customary nature, the discipline has posed many challenges like:

• Identification of Customary International Law.
• Fragmentation of International Law.
• Issues related to Private International Law.
• Rise of Non-State Actors and increase in International Humanitarian Crisis, International Refugee Crisis.
• Issues of developing and developed countries divide in International Trade and Investment Treaties.
