Organized by the Austrian ILA Branch and the Institute for European Law, International Law, and Comparative Law at the University of Vienna, the 82nd Biennial Conference takes place against the backdrop of an increasingly fragile world order. In addition to Rector Sebastian Schütze, Dean Brigitta Zöchling-Jud, ILA President Maria Gavouneli, and Austrian ILA President August Reinisch, Christoph Grabenwarter, President of the Austrian Constitutional Court, will deliver the opening address. Economy, Finance & Migration: International arbitration, currency and tax law, business and human rights, and the legal protection of refugee children. On the final day, Friday, August 21, a plenary session at the conference headquarters will address the topic “International Law as a Tool of Resistance” before the conference officially closes.
