2025 ASIL Abroad Meeting - Singapore

Traditions and Transitions in International Law
Online Registration

On September 3-4, 2025, in Singapore, the American Society of International Law will convene its second ASIL Abroad Meeting, continuing with the theme of the 119th Annual Meeting, "Traditions and Transitions in International Law". The ASIL Abroad Meeting will explore different perspectives, leveraging off the meeting venue in Singapore.

The second ASIL Abroad Meeting will question the efficacy of our international law traditions and the impact of ongoing transitions in the existing world order. Which traditional elements of international law and institutions remain effective, and which may not be fit for purpose? What can we learn from ongoing transitions for addressing contemporary challenges? Of which transitions should we be skeptical and why? What insights can non-lawyers such as diplomats, technology experts, and commercial actors offer as we probe the efficacy of traditions and transitions in international law?

The second ASIL Abroad Meeting will be a forum for international lawyers from all sectors of the profession, policymakers, and experts from other fields to reflect on the implications of traditions and transitions in international law.

Attendees can expect to participate in:
  • Keynote addresses by leading figures in international law, including Ambassador-at-Large Tommy Koh
  • Substantive panels on a wide variety of international law topics, including:
    • International Human Rights, Humanitarian Law, and Criminal Justice
    • International Dispute Resolution
    • International Trade and Investment
    • Artificial Intelligence, Technology, and Intellectual Property
    • International Organizations and Global Governance
    • Security and Use of Force
    • Environment, Sea, Space, and Sustainable Development
  • Networking and social events

With roughly 40% of ASIL's membership based outside the United States, ASIL Abroad was formed in 2022 under the leadership of ASIL President Greg Shaffer to strengthen and promote the Society's global membership.
