The Symposium, edited by Kateryna Busol, Olga Butkevych, Michael Cooper, Rebecca Hamilton, Gregory Shaffer, and Svitlana Starosvit, was launched Feb. 24, 2024, the second anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It builds on a 2023 convening of international and Ukrainian law experts in Lviv, Ukraine, organized by the Ukrainian Association of International Law and the American Society of International Law, in collaboration with other key stakeholders including the Ukrainian Bar Association.
