Law not War global meeting of participating organizations.

Online. February 20, 2024
Contact LAW not War if you are interested in participating in the meeting. 

LAW not War is a global coalition and campaign to enhance the jurisdiction and use of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in order to assist countries in resolving international disputes peacefully rather than through recourse to the threat or use of force.

The authority of the ICJ within the United Nations system, and the unique contribution the ICJ plays with respect to the application of the law, ensures that its decisions exert considerable influence and impact on the parties and other stakeholders in its cases. Better use of this authority should be made to end the scourge of war, as envisaged in the UN Charter. 

LAW not War was launched in October 2023 by a coalition of seven co-sponsoring organizations and more than 80 participating organizations (see LAW not War for the list of organizations). This meeting will provide opportunities to learn more about the role of the ICJ and discuss strategies to encourage greater acceptance and use of ICJ jurisdiction. 

The meeting is open for representatives of LAW not War participating organizations and organizations that are considering joining LAW not War. 

Contact LAW not War if you are interested in participating in the meeting. It will be held in two sessions – one timed to suit participants from Asia/Pacific, the other timed to suit participants from the Americas/Africa/Europe/Middle East.
