This conference brought together leading international lawyers, academics, and members of governments and international organizations to discuss and advance various aspects of international law.

The conference featured a range of sessions and discussions on topics pertinent to international law. Notably, a colloquium titled "The Relevance of Public International Law in International Commercial Arbitration" was organized in cooperation with the German Institution of Arbitration (DIS) on August 20, 2004. This session addressed the intersection of public international law and commercial arbitration practices.

Attendees had the opportunity to engage in networking events, participate in working sessions of ILA committees and study groups, and attend presentations by notable speakers in the field of international law. The conference also provided a platform for the adoption of resolutions and reports aimed at the development and clarification of international law.
