On 5 April 2019, our PhD Researcher Nina Mileva presented her paper “The Under-Representation of Third World States in Customary International Law: can interpretation bridge the gap?” at the 2019 ESIL Research Forum in Gottingen. During her presentation, Nina spoke of the existing criticism of customary international law (CIL) from the Third World scholarship perspective, and offered an account of CIL interpretation which might address some of the points of critique. Nina’s presentation sparked a lively debate, and received positive feedback.
