Bailey Ulbricht: Re-imagining International Law’s Prohibition on the Use of Force
Research Seminar
1:00 pm – 2:30 pm PT
May 6, 2026
223 Philosophy Hall
Bailey Ulbricht will present initial findings from ongoing scholarship examining the possible demise of international law’s prohibition on the use of force and a potential – if not uncontroversial – pathway forward leveraging a long-standing international legal principle known as necessity. The aim of this talk is to foster honest reflections about international law and to attempt to chart a pathway forward.
Bailey Ulbricht, Executive Director, Stanford Humanitarian Program, Stanford University.
