Wednesday, May 15, 2013 at 02:37PM The Canadian Council on International Law is inviting international law papers from students who are studying at the graduate or undergraduate level in any discipline. Articling students are also eligible: papers from articling students will be considered under the graduate student category.
Successful applicants will give a presentation based on their papers at the 2013 CCIL Annual Conference to be held in Ottawa from November 14-16, 2013. One award will be given for the best graduate paper and one for the best undergraduate paper. Winners will receive the fifth annual Ronald St. John Macdonald Young Scholars Award. (Subsidies for travel to the annual conference are available.)
This year's CCIL conference theme is "Contemporary Actors and their Actions: A New Look at the Formation of International Laws".
International law today draws more and more on actions and actors that traditionally were not seen as sources of international law. Examples include voluntary codes of corporate conduct established by corporations acting together, human rights guidance developed by non-governmental organizations supported by individuals in many countries, and interactions between international organizations whose memberships are not limited to states.
The growing impact of these "new" actors' actions on the international stage might entail a radical re-thinking of the sources of international law through a study of the new actors on the international legal arena, the activities in which they are engaged and the nature of the norms they create through their activities. Or perhaps not. What is international law in 2013?
Papers that reflect the conference theme will be given strong consideration by the CCIL Ronald St. John Macdonald Award Selection Committee. Papers must be no more than 35 pages in length.
Papers should be sent by email to: manager@ccil-ccdi.ca by July 12, 2013.
Please use the subject heading: Macdonald Award - Graduate or Macdonald Award - Undergraduate.

The Canadian Council on International Law invites paper proposals or summaries of proposed presentations from faculty members, doctoral level graduate students in law and related disciplines, and practitioners, on topics dealing with the theme of its 42nd Annual Conference: “Contemporary Actors and their Actions: A New Look at the Formation of International Law”.
International law today draws more and more on actions and actors that traditionally were not seen as sources of international law.

The Canadian Council for International Law will grapple with these issues from the 14-16 November 2012 in Ottawa and invites the active participation of the international legal community. Confirmed speakers at the conference include Judge Schwebel, former President of the International Court of Justice, the Honourable Mr. Justice Louis LeBel, Judge of the Supreme Court of Canada, Judge Al-Khasawneh, Judge of the International Court of Justice, and Ms Marie-José Nadeau, Chair of the World Energy Council.
