NYU Journal of International Law & Politics Spring Symposium (PANEL 2)

Описание: Friday, February 13, 2026

The NYU Journal of International Law and Politics proudly presented its Annual Spring Symposium, States of Violence: Law, Power, and Accountability.

The symposium examined how law structures, legitimates, and contests state violence across domains including surveillance, detention and deportation, racialized governance, and international conflict. Through a series of interdisciplinary panels and moderated dialogues, the symposium explored the legal architectures that shape accountability, responsibility, and restraint in contexts of coercion and harm.

The symposium focused on the ways domestic and international legal frameworks both constrain and enable state power, with particular attention to questions of secrecy, neutrality, community-based advocacy, and racial justice.
