1908. After years of development, the Law School has become a national center of

legal education and research in China. The Law School has two key research sites of

humanities and social sciences of the Ministry of Education, one of which is the

Wuhan University Institute of International Law.

Wuhan University Institute of International Law, founded in 1980, is the first

college-based research institution in the field of international law and a top think tank

in China. The Institute is committed to the advancement of interdisciplinary

scholarship in international law. Its research covers a breadth of topics, including

United Nation law, European Union law, international energy law, e-commerce law,

international sports law, international law in cyberspace, law of the sea and other

frontier fields.

Over many years, the Institute has made fruitful achievements in research and

practice activities. Apart from diverse research outputs, it has provided legal advice to

the government of China in the drafting of laws, in international negotiation and in the

implementation of treaties to promote good and efficient governance and the rule of

law. Moreover, the Institute has built up strong networks with leading scholars,

research institutions and organizations worldwide through the establishment of

long-term partnerships and exchange of expertise.

B. ASIAN ACADEMY OF INTERNATIONAL LAW

The Asian Academy of International Law Ltd (AAIL) is an independent and

non-profit making body, set up in Hong Kong to further the studies, research and

development of international law in Asia. The AAIL provides a platform for

discussions on international law issues and to research in developing areas of

international law, in order to enhance and reinforce Asia’s role and participation in the

formulation of international law and international relations. AAIL aims to provide

31 / 36

specialized education and training to practitioners, national judges, students and

government officials in areas of international law. The unique distinction between

AAIL and other international law institutes is that AAIL concentrates on the

involvement of Asian countries as well as collaboration between practitioners and

academia.

to go?

The world is experiencing unprecedented change and facing

mounting challenges. New balance of power among developed and

developing countries, setbacks to globalization, free trade and

multilateralism, and the game-changing new technologies are having a

huge impact on the international order. Questions and skepticism arise

about the role of international law. This panel will address these questions

and skepticism, and discuss how rules, institutions and rules-making

processes in international law are adapting to the changing world, what

challenges and opportunities will these changes in international law bring

to developing countries.

11:30 Panel II: International Law in the Changing World: Role

of Developing Countries

Developing countries, including Asian and African countries, have

been important contributors to the development of international law,

33 / 36

especially after the post WWII decolonization process. Their

contributions are manifest in the development of contemporary law of the

sea regimes, in the establishment of the World Trade Organization, and in

advocating for the New International Economic Order. This panel will

discuss how developing countries should position themselves in times of

change, more specifically, what principles, rules, or institutions of

international law should developing countries uphold, redefine or reject,

how their past experiences, including their effort in international law in

the 1970s for the New International Economic Order, can shed light on

the Belt and Road Initiative and other initiatives for common

development of the developing countries.
