of the European Society of International Law (ESIL)11 brought together international scholars and practitioners in beautiful Aix-en-Provence, in the homonymous French [...]
There is something very quaint in having a group of legal professionals discussing in 2023 the fairness of their discourse and what this discourse does to the world. Indeed,
