Hoche Hour with Professor Alain Pellet: Five Decades of International Law – Reflections on Evolution, Justice, and the Future
Join us for an extraordinary Hoche Hour conversation with Professor Alain Pellet, one of international law's most distinguished practitioners.
In conversation with Jean-Rémi de Maistre (Jus Mundi's CEO & Co-Founder), Professor Pellet will share insights on navigating politically charged cases, the evolution of global disputes, the legitimacy crisis, and why—despite everything—international law still matters.
An intellectually rigorous, rare opportunity to hear from someone who has helped codify international law at the UN, appeared before the world's most important international tribunals, and advised governments and organizations around the globe.
