2006 Paris Agora Papers

One of the central events of the Paris Conference was the thematic Agorae sessions. The goal of Agorae was to encourage the presentation of ongoing research by scholars and stimulate the exchange of views on specific areas of international law.

We are pleased that the Paris Agora papers are now available on our site, arranged on the basis of the themed sessions in which they were presented.
