International tribunals have come under increasing pressure in recent years. In the humanitarian arena, bodies such as the International Criminal Court and European Court of Human Rights have been subject to intense government criticism. Similarly, in the economic sector, international investor-state dispute settlement has become increasingly controversial, while the World Trade Organisation dispute settlement mechanism is under unprecedented strain.

This event brings together the academic community, government, and practitioners to discuss the current landscape of international adjudication, with two panels considering, respectively, international human rights and criminal adjudication, and international trade and investment adjudication.
