This conference is organised by the European Society for International Law Interest Group 'EU as a Global Actor', supported by the University of Leiden (Europa Institute, Europe hub, Ukraine hub), KU Leuven and City Law School, City, University of London. It will be held at the Leiden Law School on the 22 and 23 June 2023.
Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the European Union (EU) and its Member States have adopted wide-ranging legal and political measures to support Ukraine in its struggle. These have included political support, financial, military and humanitarian assistance in solidarity with Ukraine and its people. Beyond their impact on the war, these measures also raise important questions for the EU's role in international politics and under EU law, human rights law, and various branches of public international law.
As part of a conference organised on 22 and 23 June by the European Society of International Law Interest Group 'EU as a Global Actor' supported by the University of Leiden (Europa Institute, Europe Hub and Ukraine Hub), KU Leuven (Institute for European Law and Reshuffle project) and City Law School, City, University of London, the conveners are holding a doctoral workshop on the morning of 22 June open to doctoral researchers in law and in international relations at different stages of their research.
