Global Seminar on Individual Responsibility: Concepts and Consequences

Global Seminar on Individual Responsibility: Concepts and Consequences

On 9-11 December 2016, the ILA Study Group on Individual Responsibility in International Law convened a Global Seminar on Individual Responsibility: Concepts and Consequences. The seminar was co-hosted by the French and Italian ILA branches at the beautiful Villa Finaly, a conference and study center of Paris Sorbonne Universities in Florence. Participants from France, Italy, the United States, Canada, Singapore, Japan, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Australia spent two full days discussing topics related to the responsibility of individuals under international law with a view to preparing a report for the ILA biennial conference in August 2018. The study group and associated researchers will continue work on this project over the coming year, with the goal of convening another in-person meeting in the fall of 2017 and finishing a draft report on "concepts" by spring 2018, to be followed by the possibility of further work on "consequences" after the Sydney meeting.
