Kamil Strzępek I believe research in public international law can help improve the global legal order by focusing on areas like climate change, conflict resolution, and human rights. Creating stronger legal rules for the environment and holding countries accountable can encourage global cooperation. Also, better ways to solve conflicts peacefully and protect human rights can ensure fairness and justice.

Dear Aftab Haider

Thank you for your insights. The question is whether holding countries accountable can actually encourage global cooperation.

Dear Kamil,

Thanks for raising the question of research agendas. In 2021, I took a very close look at the "Law and Development" field that is trying to answer many of these questions through research and teaching that is interdisciplinary and I offered several measures and recommendations describing where there are holes in current approaches and what is needed across different fields. Rather than try to summarize it here beyond just highlights (for example, others answering your question are exactly right that we need to focus on mechanisms of change and how they actually work and can be applied) you might want to take a look. I put it on my ResearchGate page: "Law and Development as a Model Discipline".

Best,

David Lempert, Ph.D., J.D., M.B.A., E.D. (Hon.)

Global legal order could improve if research is carried out on the two international courts and their mandates i.e. ICJ and ICC

There is little in the way of global legal order beyond UN blather and it's unlikely there will be more.

Thank you David Lempert for sharing your publication with us.

In addition to Aftab Haider 's contribution…

Issues such as the implementation of controls from international law and the standardization of national regulatory frameworks on issues such as transnational organized crime and money laundering also provide a very broad field of research.

Dear Ricardo Anguiano thank your for your insight. It would mean - if I understand correctly - that we should think about changing the basics included in the UN Charter.
