Hague Academy of International Law 2022

The programme for the 2022 Hague Academy of International Law is out. The private law section is scheduled to take place from 1 to 19 August 2022. In addition to the usual pronramme, there wull be special lectures in tribute to Professor Emmanuel Galliard, so I would assume the programme will have a slight arbitration bias. I attended many moons ago, and still have very favorable memories: Not only of the North Sea Jazz Festival which back then took place in The Hague and where I saw Miles Davis, but also of the courses, and of Hans van Loon in particular.
