Congratulations Colombos Essay Prize Winner 2024

We are delighted to congratulate our most recent pupil, Catrin Gregory-Wallace, on winning the Middle Temple Colombos Public International Law Essay Prize for 2024.

Discuss," offered a detailed analysis of the types and impact of grey-zone tactics employed by Russia in Ukraine and China in the South China Sea, critically examining these actions against the framework of Article 2(4) of the UN Charter.
