Nonviolent Civil Resistance: Implications for International Law & Law-Making

Populations around the world are increasingly engaging in both reformist and revolutionary nonviolent civil resistance in order to pursue rights, freedom, and justice. What are the implications of this trend for key areas of international law? Taking account of civil resistance entails re-theorizing some foundational concepts in international law, such as sources of law, sovereignty, and the nature of “war”. Join ASIL for an engaging discussion of these issues and more. Speakers include: Todd F. Buchwald, Former Ambassador, Office of Global Criminal Justice, U.S. Department of State and Elizabeth Wilson, Rutgers Law School, Institute for Information Policy and Law.
