How and Why Do Double Standards Matter for International Law? Conference Report

The How and Why Double Standards Matter for International Law Conference Report distills three days of discussion at the Geneva Graduate Institute (15 to 17 May 2025) on how double standards shape the practice, perception, and legitimacy of international law. Drawing on panels, a keynote, two diplomatic forums, and a closing roundtable, it traces five recurring themes across fields including human rights, trade, climate, migration, and the law of armed conflict.
