Compensation in the International Law Commission

Event Details

In 2025, the International Law Commission (ILC) decided to add the topic "Compensation for the damage caused by internationally wrongful acts" to its programme of work, and appointed Professor Martins Paparinskis as the Special Rapporteur. 

This event will convene a panel discussion on compensation in the ILC, reflecting on the conceptual and practical issues that the ILC is likely to face in the task of codification and progressive development in relation to this topic.
