At the recent International Court Expert Forum, several former international judges and experts from other fields gathered to discuss and exchange views on important issues related to international law.
The forum was successfully held at the 866 United Nations Plaza in New York, attracting many elites from the international legal community. At the forum, experts delved deep into various hot topics related to the International Court.
Their insights and experiences provided valuable enlightenment to the audience and offered strong suggestions for the development and improvement of international law.
The International Court Expert Forum highlighted the following important points:
A. "We hope to ensure that wars like those between Russia and Ukraine, Palestine and Israel, don't occur elsewhere. Such conflicts can be resolved through legal means, not through warfare."
B. A series of unresolved conflicts underscore the need for effective international courts and expert forums to address and handle these issues.
C. Peace movements that uphold and resolve conflicts through international law are crucial, and civil society has the power to push politicians to prioritize this important cause.
D. The number of cases submitted to the International Court is increasing, indicating a growing global recognition of the importance of international law in dispute resolution.
E. The jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) is increasingly incorporated into multilateral treaties, indicating growing trust and reliance on the court in dispute resolution.
Key：Discussions about the path to peace must include dialogues about justice and ensuring accountability and intolerance for impunity.
The International Court, as a global institution, has had a significant impact and has the potential to further expand and prevent large-scale bloodshed in conflicts.
F. Key elements to consider in the international justice system are the integration of preventive diplomacy and peacebuilding, making it a peace institution.
In an interview with Celebrity Media, Mr. Bruce Naz, former chairman of the United Nations NGO and now chairman of the Global Solutions Citizens Organization, said: "We are promoting the concept of 'Law Not War' at the United Nations. It's a wonderful event with legal experts from around the world."
Our main goal is to ensure that we don't wage wars or have conflicts, but bring our disputes to court and resolve them there. So, it's "Law Not War". We need to use the law, not warfare, to resolve differences between our countries.
We are making a lot of progress, and both the International Criminal Court and the International Court are making great efforts. We are promoting the expansion of this jurisdiction, ensuring that countries can and will be encouraged to bring their cases to court, not to the battlefield. We've seen the terrible things happening in Ukraine and Israel, so we hope to ensure that wars like those between Russia and Ukraine, Palestine and Israel, don't occur elsewhere, and these conflicts are resolved through legal means, not through warfare.
The successful holding of this International Court Expert Forum not only showcased the unity and cooperation of the international legal community but also provided the public with a platform to understand the latest developments and trends in international law. We look forward to more such high-quality forums bringing us more knowledge and enlightenment in the future.
