ABOUT THE LECTURE
What is a "frozen conflict" in international law? Although the term is widely used in political and media discourse, its legal meaning remains contested. This webinar explores the defining characteristics of frozen conflicts and distinguishes them from other contemporary conflicts through a survey of global conflict hotspots. It then focuses on the post-Soviet space, drawing on Dr. Livia Bonhôte-Enzler's research to examine how these conflicts challenge established legal concepts relating to sovereignty, territorial integrity, self-determination, occupation, and the use of force. The discussion offers fresh insights into the place of frozen conflicts within the contemporary international legal order.
