Technically this is not a call for papers, but a notification of a symposium that people may be interested in attending. It is the International Law and Armed Conflict Symposium, being held at Bristol Law School at the University of West England from 3-5 September 2008. I’m giving a paper in the "accountability" panel on the first day. There are nine panels, all dealing with interesting subject areas such as reforming the laws of war, children, and environment and natural resources. Invited speakers include Bill Schabas, Nico Schrijver, and Nigel White. There is a welcome reception on the Wednesday night, and an optional dinner on the Thursday night. I know it’s a few months away, so I will write another reminder post closer to the date, but thought I would write a post now as they have an early bird fee payable by 31st July. Student rates are also available.
