American Leadership in International Economic Law
2026 GJIL Symposium
The 2026 International Law Symposium, held on October 23, 2026 in the Barbieri Courtroom at Gonzaga University School of Law, aims to foster a multicultural dialogue exploring the accelerating breakdown of the post-WWII cooperative, rules-based international order. Because of the Security Council gridlock and renewed great-power competition, we will discuss two competing realities that are emerging: a robust push for universal legal accountability and a simultaneous retreat into regional hegemony.
