X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html: <p>Recent challenges to the rule of law aroun
 d the world have led many to ask\, “Does international law matter?” This ev
 ent will examine that question through the lens of disarmament law. Eighty 
 years ago\, the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the firebombi
 ngs of Dresden and Toyko killed hundreds of thousands of people and wiped o
 ut whole cities. Over the decades that followed\, international law helped 
 prevent similar tragedies through the creation of new obligations and the s
 tigmatization of certain arms. As war and weapons have evolved\, this law h
 as needed to be strengthened and adapted. While not a panacea\, internation
 al law\, in its letter and spirit\, continues to make the world safer for c
 ivilians and must be protected during these difficult times.</p><p><span da
