ESIL- SEDI

Agora

The purpose of the Agorae was to share cutting-edge research in specific areas of international law, to stimulate debate and to foster contacts between the participants. Papers presented in Agorae focused on any aspect of the branch of international law discussed in the Agora, as long as they are connected with the overarching conference theme and description of the Agora. At the moment of presentation, papers should be unpublished, in an advanced stage of completion and ready to be included in the conference proceedings.

L’objectif des agoræ est de partager les fruits de recherches pointues dans des domaines spécifiques du droit international afin de stimuler le débat et d’encourager les contacts entre les participants. Les articles présentés dans ce cadre peuvent se concentrer sur tout aspect d’un domaine particulier du droit international, pour autant qu’il soit lié au thème général de la conférence et en phase avec le descriptif de l’agora concernée. Au moment de leur présentation, les articles ne doivent pas avoir déjà été publiés. Ils doivent néanmoins être suffisamment aboutis pour pouvoir être repris dans les actes de la conférence. Le thème principal de la conférence et les thèmes des agoræ sont décrits ci-dessous.
