Call for papers

A number of recent developments raise questions about where the law of state immunity stands. These include:

• The ILC’s work on Immunity of State officials from foreign criminal jurisdiction
• The ICC’s arrest warrants against sitting State leaders (Putin, Netanyahu), and the failure of Mongolia and Hungary to enforce them
• The establishment of the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine
• Discussions on the confiscation of Russian State assets, for example on the possible use of countermeasures as a legal basis

The organizers welcome the submission of abstracts on these and related themes. Ph.d. students are especially encouraged to apply.

Selected papers will be published in a special issue of the Nordic Journal of International Law.

Abstracts of up to 500 words and a CV should be sent to Gaiane Nuridzhanian (gaiane.nuridzhanian@uit.no) by 1 August 2025.
