When the Annual Meeting Committee began its planning process a year ago, they could not have foreseen the challenges that would confront international law and institutions following the U.S. elections, but both the committee and the Society's leadership felt that it would be important to adjust our plans to take account of this new landscape. And this is taking place throughout this annual meeting and most particularly through the three panels we're hosting at this same time each morning on “International Law and the Trump Administration,” and the first panel, as you know, today is on “National and International Security.”

Trump Administration

Good morning, and welcome to this final program in our series of three programs at this annual meeting on “International Law and the Trump Administration.” This morning, as you well know, we are talking about global engagement on environmental law, following our Thursday panel on security issues and yesterday's panel on trade and investment. This is part of a series that we have been presenting both here and on in our webcast initiative that we launched in January, as the new administration began its first one hundred days in office. Some of you may have seen the live webcast we put together, and there are now podcasts as well, featuring former senior administration officials of both parties, which are presenting factual information and informed perspectives on a range of critical policy issues that are facing America and the world.

The United States under President Trump: Gravedigger of International Law

Do So

Abstract The United States’ recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Syrian Golan has been widely considered a flagrant breach of international law. This illegal act gives reason to examine the relationship between the United States under President Trump and international law more generally. Unlike its predecessors, the Trump administration has not just violated international law whenever U.S. economic, political, or strategic interests demanded it to do so, it has rather challenged international law and its institutions as such, and has actively undermined them. The attitude of the Trump administration towards international law and its institutions is marked by an unparalleled contempt or disdain. This article delivers a powerful “J’accuse” against this international law nihilism.

The Cold War

Since the end of the Cold War, international law has increasingly been challenged by states and other actors. Specific norms have also been challenged in their application by new realities and obstacles. This article focuses on these challenges as they arise from the development of cyberspace and cyber operations, and offers an overview of the main questions arising with regard to the application of international law to cyber operations. By analysing the application of the existing norms of international law to cyber operations as well as identifying their limits, the article offers an accurate lens through which to study the contestation or process of reinterpretation of some norms of international law. The objective of the article is not to deliver a comprehensive analysis of how the norms of international law apply to cyber operations but to provide an overview of the key points and issues linked to the applicability and application of the norms as well as elements of contextualisation, notably after the failure of the 2016–17 United Nations Group of Governmental Experts on Developments in the Field of Information and Telecommunications in the Context of International Security. The article comprises three parts. The first part focuses on the applicability of international law to cyber operations. The second part identifies challenges that affect the applicability and application of international law in general, while the third part analyses challenges that affect specific norms of international law, highlighting their limits in dealing with cyber threats.

Freedom Of Action

At the heart of the tension between state autonomy and international law is the question of whether states should willingly restrict their freedom of action for the sake of international security, human rights, trade, communication, and the environment. David Hume offers surprising insights to answer this question. He argues that the same interests in cooperation arise among individuals as well as states and that their interactions should be regulated by the same principles. Drawing on his model of dynamic coordination, I will reconstruct the Humean case for developing international law into a more robust legal system and also highlight the limitation of Hume’s account of justice for such a reconstructive project. Hume’s lessons are enduring; we must strengthen the essential features of international law that allow states and individuals to reap the benefits of its protections, such as nonoptional rules that articulate a moral minimum, courts with compulsory jurisdiction, and stronger mechanisms of enforcement.
