A new article by ELAC Co-Director Janina Dill, ‘What International Law Can’t Achieve in Gaza and Ukraine‘, was published by TIME on 26 January 2024. The article focuses on the wars in Gaza and Ukraine and gives three reasons why the wars appear to demonstrate the weakness of international law. She concludes the article by stating, ‘…international law cannot fulfil all the roles we expect of it. But growing interest in international law also indicates an area of rare agreement: Law is relevant in war. We must build on this agreement because war without law is no alternative at all.’
