International Law Association | British Branch Spring Conference 2026

The International Law Association is delighted to announce that the ILA British Branch will host its Spring Conference 2026 on Thursday 5 June 2026 at Clifford Chance, 10 Upper Bank Street, Canary Wharf, London.

This is the first conference the British Branch has convened in three years, and it brings together a distinguished gathering of judges, practitioners and scholars to examine three of the most pressing questions in contemporary international law, alongside a welcome opportunity for members to reconnect.
Proceedings open at 9:30am with introductory remarks from Jeremy Carver CBE, President of the British Branch, followed by a keynote address from Lord Richard Hermer, Attorney General.

The programme then turns to four panels.

‘Third Parties in International Litigation’ considers the marked increase in Article 62 and Article 63 interventions before the International Court of Justice (@ICJ_org @CIJ_ICJ), the growth of erga omnes (partes) litigation, and the effect of Advisory Opinions on States as ‘third’ parties. With Eleni Methymaki (University of Glasgow), Antonia Mulvey (Legal Action Worldwide (LAW)), Amy Sander KC (Essex Court Chambers) and Manuel Casas (Twenty Essex).

‘International Economic Law in the Age of Tariffs’ examines the consequences of tariffs for World Trade Organization law, investment law and the litigation expected to follow. With Professor Lorand Bartels (University of Cambridge; Chair of the Trade and Agriculture Commission), Adrian Roberts (Legal Director for International Trade, UK Department for Business and Trade) and Dr Anna Ventouratou (The University of Sheffield).

‘Reinforcement of the Prohibition of the Use of Force’ asks whether the trend of recent years is reversible. With Professor Marko Milanovic (University of Reading), Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh KC (Matrix Chambers) and Chanaka Wickremasinghe (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office).

A concluding panel draws the day together with Lord David Lloyd-Jones PC FLSW (Justice of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom), Professor Christine Chinkin FBA CMG (The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE); Chair of the International Law Association) Sally Langrish (Legal Adviser to the Foreign Office, FCDO) and Vaughan Lowe KC (Essex Court Chambers).

🌍 World Environment Day 2026

On World Environment Day, the International Law Association reaffirms the vital role of international law in addressing environmental challenges and advancing sustainable development for present and future generations.

From climate change and biodiversity conservation to pollution prevention and the sustainable use of natural resources, legal frameworks at the international, regional, and national levels remain essential tools for promoting environmental stewardship, accountability, and cooperation among States and other stakeholders.

As environmental challenges increasingly transcend borders, the need for effective legal solutions, informed dialogue, and international collaboration has never been greater.

The International Law Association remains committed to fostering research, discussion, and the progressive development of international law in support of environmental protection, sustainable development, and the well-being of communities worldwide.

On this World Environment Day, we encourage all members of the international legal community to continue advancing solutions that strengthen both the rule of law and the protection of our shared planet.

🌱 For our environment.
⚖️ Through the rule of law.
🌍 For future generations.

As we count down to the World Environment Day Dialogue 2026, we continue the conversation on how governments, institutions, and communities can drive meaningful environmental change.

One of the most powerful lessons from this achievement is that environmental progress is possible when nations, institutions, and stakeholders work together toward a common goal.

🌍 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐄𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐃𝐚𝐲 2026 🌱

Today, on #WorldEnvironmentDay, the International Law Association GCC Branch reaffirms its commitment to advancing environmental governance, climate justice, and sustainable development through the rule of law.
As environmental challenges continue to transcend borders, effective legal frameworks, international cooperation, and responsible stewardship of natural resources are more important than ever.

The law plays a vital role in protecting ecosystems, promoting accountability, supporting climate action, and safeguarding the interests of present and future generations.

World Environment Day serves as a reminder that environmental protection is not solely an ecological imperative; it is also a legal, social, and economic responsibility shared by governments, institutions, businesses, and individuals alike.

Together, we can contribute to a more sustainable, resilient, and equitable future. Our Planet. Our Responsibility. Our Future.
