Call for papers: International Organizations’ Action in Times of COVID-19: Law-Making by Expertise and Soft Law (Sztokholm, wrzesień 2021 r.)

ESIL Interest Groups on International Organizations oraz on International Health Law organizują warsztaty pt. "International Organizations’ Action in Times of COVID-19: Law-Making by Expertise and Soft Law", które odbędą się podczas dorocznej konferencji ESIL mającej miejsce w tym roku w Sztokholmie 8 września.

Organizatorzy są zainteresowani w szczególności następującymi tematami:

Expertise:

• The relevance of expertise in law-making processes led by international institutions for facing COVID-19, both in normative and practical terms.
• The challenges of involving experts in such law-making processes during the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of the mandate, structure and procedures of international institutions. Are these institutions fit for involving experts in such processes?
• The implications of international institutions’ reliance on expertise in law making processes for their legitimacy and authority before States and peoples during COVID-19. How much can, and should, international organizations rely on expertise to the prejudice of other factors?
• How legitimacy is constructed through suppositions about expert-led law-making practices for facing pandemic threats.
• The interplay between scientific knowledge and international adjudication, especially in the trade arena, in terms of enhancing the authority of institutional law (broadly defined), especially when facing restrictions on the import and export of medical products.

Soft Law:

• The role and contribution of ‘soft law’ in governance, perhaps in strengthening or encouraging commitment to norms.
• Reflections on the relevance or nature of soft law for finding solutions to global health problems currently not envisaged in legally binding rules. A notable example is the holistic perspective towards pandemic risk of the “One Health” approach.
• The varying legal and political authority of different actors involved in the production and implementation of soft law.

Zgłoszenia (abstrakt 500-600 słów wraz z notką biograficzną do 200 słów) należy przesyłać do 23 kwietnia.
