The recent invasion of Gaza has posed profound challenges to international law, prompting a critical examination of its efficacy, legitimacy, universality, and fairness. Triggered by these, Boğaziçi University International Law Conference (BILC) 2024 will serve as a timely platform for scholars and practitioners committed to reshaping the contours of international law. Specifically, the conference hopes to provide a transformative re-examination of the theory and practice of international law by sharing research that foregrounds the perspectives of the marginalised. In this regard, the conference seeks to unsettle the obsolete understandings that prevail in international law and challenge orthodox perceptions, displacing these with diverse perspectives.
Spearheading the conference is the imperative to interrogate the historical and present-day intersections of exclusionary frameworks and international law, particularly highlighting the interplay of power, politics and law. We hope that such a critical lens will allow the conference to scrutinise the formative influence of hegemonic structures on international law. To address such challenges, the conference will also confront the many modes through which epistemic colonialism silences critical voices, emphasising the importance of foregrounding inclusive intersectionality.
For this purpose, the conference seeks to critically interrogate existing paradigms and envision a more just and inclusive global legal order. Boğaziçi University Faculty of Law extends an invitation to participate in this intellectual exploration, encouraging contributions of varying lengths/stages of development that aim to rethink international law from the margins – a task that has taken on a new gravity “After Gaza.”
