Who’s Afraid of International Law?
We invite PhD students, young scholars or public affairs professionals from Poland, EU countries and Eastern Europe to participate in our international summer school ‘Who’s Afraid of International Law? On the importance of the international law in the light of Russian aggression against Ukraine’. This is an excellent opportunity to learn about the perspective of international law towards historical events and its role in the work of international affairs analysts and historians.
International law is of great importance to the world of politics and diplomacy, as well as to historians. It is a tool for regulating relations between states. It is largely through it that the international community takes political, economic and military action against those states that violate it.
During the summer school, you will have the opportunity to meet distinguished lecturers who specialise in international law and history. During the intensive classes, you will learn about the basic principles and regulations of international law and how it affects the interpretation of historical events.
Our summer school is not only about learning - it is also a great opportunity to meet other talented scholars from neighbouring countries sharing a difficult history.
We warmly invite all those interested in expanding their skills and knowledge in the fields of history and international law, as well as meeting interesting people from Central and Eastern Europe.
