9 th Annual T.M.C. Asser Lecture: “Connection in a divided world: Rethinking community” in international law by Fleur Johns
Professor Fleur Johns, a recognised expert on international law and on the role of automation and digital technology in global legal relations, will deliver the 9th Annual T.M.C. Asser Lecture on Thursday 25 April 2024 in the Peace Palace in The Hague.

Professor Johns’ lecture will explore the concept of ‘community’ in today’s international law, especially in the context of humanitarianism. As technology has radically changed the ways in which we connect, communicate, share values with each other, exercise power, and engage in conflict, the concept of ‘community’ in international law is once more in contention.
