About the Conclave
The International Conclave on Relevance of Justice Dr. Radha Binod Pal’s Dissent in International Law is an academic platform aimed at revisiting the profound influence of Justice Pal’s dissenting opinions in shaping international law.

This event is part of WBNUJS’s initiative to promote critical discourse around historical and contemporary legal issues, with a special focus on Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL) and the lasting impact of post-colonial critiques of global justice.
