CIL is honoured to have its Distinguished Lecture for the Global Trade Law Academy 2026. It will be delivered by Professor Gregory Shaffer (Georgetown University) and moderated by Professor Joseph Weiler (New York University).

In the face of political and economic tensions as well as mounting pressures against the rules-based international order, what is the current state of the rule of law? This lecture explores how recent global events have challenged international economic law systems, which are vital tools for promoting stability and cooperation.
