The joint 108th American Society of International Law (ASIL) Annual Meeting and 76th International Law Association (ILA) Biennial Conference was organized under the theme “The Effectiveness of International Law.” In conjunction with this theme, the ASIL Legal Theory Interest Group hosted a panel discussion exploring the theoretical dimensions of the concept of “effectiveness” as understood in international law. Panelists discussed three related questions: (1)Is the effectiveness of international law an empirical question measured through evaluating compliance with international legal norms?(2)What conceptions of effectiveness might exist beyond compliance? Could such conceptions be captured in theoretical or moral terms?(3)Why is international law concerned with effectiveness at all?

The present symposium follows on from a forum held at the University of Oslo on 11 September 2015 during the 11th Annual Conference of the European Society of International Law. This forum, sponsored by the ESIL Interest Group on Peace and Security, was particularly successful and led to a very interesting debate between the members of the European Society of International Law. The Leiden Journal of International Law has today the pleasure to publish, after the usual process of peer review, the complete and updated versions of the four papers presented during this event.

This year's 6th Joint Conference held by the American and Dutch Societies of International Law and organised by the T.M.C. Asser Institute in The Hague focused on the increasing importance of the role of non-state actors in international law and at the same time provided an opportunity for American and European lawyers to address recent differences between the U.S. and Europe, e.g. on the use of force in Iraq. Consequently one of the three major issues of the conference was the response to international terrorism, while other issues included the role of international organizations as well as transnational corporations in international law.

Back in January 2008 I was asked by the Chief Librarian of the International Islamic University Malaysia Library (IIUM Library) to head the Law Information Section of the Library. Up to that year, which was my twelfth year as a librarian, law had been one of the subjects that I had avoided learning. I knew the complexity and specialization of the subjects and its multitude of collections. I felt that if I did not use the subject on a regular basis, I would easily forget what I learned. Even though skeptical of my own ability to head the department, I took the job to challenge myself, to learn more about the subject and above all to prove to myself how wrong I was about the subject.
