The resilience of conventional multilateralism.


Side event – International legal week.

Speakers :

- Bimal Patel, candidate presented by Intdia to the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea

- Patricia Galvao Teles, member of the International Law Commission.

Today, this conventional multilateralism would experience a "retreat of reflux, marked by slower progress, or even some regressions and challenges", it would be affected by a "qualitative and quantitative decline" or would even be in "crisis". In this regard, it cannot be denied that the will of some States to negotiate and then adopt new multilateral conventions is being confronted with a difficult international context and a rise in sovereignist interests, both at the international and domestic levels.

Nevertheless, this "crisis" of international law only partially reflects reality and, in this sense, many observers and practitioners note the resilience of this system. In fact, this ability to withstand the shock, to recover and to continue functioning questions and deserves to be addressed around three themes.The role of the international judge as an actor in the resilience of conventional multilateralism.
The entry into force of the Agreement to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea on the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biological Diversity beyond Areas of National Jurisdiction (BBNJ Agreement) as evidence of the resilience of conventional multilateralism.

As the world gathers to celebrate the achievements of multilateralism and diplomacy, which has its best representation in the United Nations, humanity, and particularly the peoples of the Global South, suffers from the consequences of a global crisis with multiple dimensions, including, among others, in the climate, food, energy and finance fields, which, coupled with the negative impacts of ongoing wars and protracted conflicts, such as the one in the Gaza Strip, is only keeping us off track from honoring our pledge of leaving no one behind and ensuring the attainment, by 2030, of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) . In many cases, the lack of progress in effectively and comprehensively redressing such challenges and threats, despite being common, although with different levels of intensity, is derived from either of the fol...

The Future of Multilateralism.

  Multilateralism and the global issues that it acts as a tool to solve have continued to change and evolve towards becoming more visible and relevant to people across the world. The League of Nations brought much of what had been backroom Multilateral diplomacy into the open with accessible discussions, and multilateralism has become only more open since then with the UN opening a window into its processes through streaming discussions and decision making . Part of this has been the UN’s 75th anniversary initiative to understand the issues and priorities of its ultimate stakeholders, the people of the world. This came through a combination of over a million online survey results, and in-depth discussions. Across the world, people identified climate change as the most overwhelming long-term issue to be dealt with, closely followed by healthcare, human rights, and conflict resolution. The challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of an international problem-...
