This event will analyse and discuss the legal obligations of States in regard to disputed land territories, be it continental or island. The event will offer four panels featuring international law experts and members of BIICL's largescale research project on Territorial Disputes
In particular, the event will examine the most important primary rules regulating the threat or use of force between States under the current international law and will analyse how these rules operate specifically in the context of disputes over territory. The panels will present the findings of the BIICL research team and the implications of the research in practice.
- Panel 1 - Use of force
- Panel 2 - Self-defence
- Panel 3 - Peaceful settlement and general obligations of self-restraint

The event will be of interest to international law practitioners, government officials and academics.
