Boğaziçi University International Law Conference (BILC) 2026

We are pleased to announce that the third annual Boğaziçi University International Law Conference (BILC 2026) will take place on 13–14 June 2026.

BILC 2026 is themed “International Economic Law in a Fractured Global Order”. Building on the discussions of the past two years, this year’s conference turns to the global economic order and its deepening crises. The system established after the Second World War is showing its limits, struggling to reflect the realities of the twenty-first century and to address growing inequalities, conflicts, and environmental challenges. As trade wars intensify, globalisation is questioned, and neo-colonial economic relations come under increasing criticism, international economic law finds itself at a crossroads.

BILC 2026 will provide a space for critical reflection on these transformations. It invites scholars from around the world to examine how international law can respond to the fractures of the global economic order and to explore new ideas for a fairer and more sustainable future.

Deadline for abstract submissions is 15 March 2026. Further information on the conference is available at: https://bilc.bogazici.edu.tr/bilc-2026-cfp
