/INTRODUCTION/

The Conference has been organised by the CIRDUIS (Siena) and the 
Catholic University of Milan. The CIRDUIS (founded by the Universities 
of Siena, Naples “Federico II”, Naples II, Naples “L’Orientale”, Foggia 
and Luiss Guido Carli-Rome) provides a forum to reflect on the issues of 
human rights, migration and aliens’ law from the main perspective of 
public and private international law, European Union law, constitutional 
and criminal law. It seeks to further cooperation among academics, 
experts and practitioners, with the goal of promoting research and 
drawing conceptual and policy lessons from the problems the 
above-mentioned issues pose for the development of international law and 
the international community. It seeks also to give legal counselling and 
assistance to immigrants and victims of human rights’ violations. In the 
last few years the CIRDUIS, with the cooperation of other institutions, 
has organized conferences and published three collective books.The 
conference on “*Global Justice, Human Rights and the Modernization of 
International Law*” seeks to gather some Italian and foreign 
international academic lawyers, who have the capacity to deal with 
conceptual and general issues, asking them to explore (not only with an 
empirical method but also resting on systematic conceptions of the 
international legal order) on the possibilities and prospects of a 
process of structural modernization of international law. In our view, 
this process invests a widening of the concept of international 
community (first session of the conference); an increasing diversity and 
flexibility of the sources of international law (second session); and 
the capabilities of this law to face and resolve some of the goals for 
humanity, connected with human rights, that are posed by the 2030 UN 
Agenda for Sustainable Development. Among these goals, we have selected 
those concerning equality among and within States, promotion of pacific 
and inclusive societies and environmental protection (third session). 
These possible aspects of modernization of contemporary international 
law should be explored from the perspective and the guiding principle of 
developing human rights and a global justice. **
