2. Ignorance and the limits of knowledge in international law: This panel invites contributions considering questions like what strategies and practices do practitioners use to ‘fill in the blanks’ of knowledge about international law and of knowledge about the world for international law? What is the place of ignorance in the very structure of the international legal field? Etc.

3. Determinants of international law scholarship: The panel treats aspects concerning the more theoretical themes of moralisation, the scientific aspects and the dissemination of international legal scholarship.
