New City Report: Amsterdam

The ILA Committee on Urbanisation and International Law is pleased to announce the publication of a new addition to its City Reports series: “Amsterdam”, authored by Sophia Ikpia and Janne Nijman.

“Amsterdam is an example of a city that navigates the complex sphere between the local, national and the global by asserting a form of glocal agency that has both pragmatic and aspirational aspects. The city’s engagement with international law and policy is always guided by its local challenges: ...human rights, migration, housing, drug policy, sustainability and digital rights...”

The City Reports series highlights how cities around the world engage with international law in practice, offering insights into the legal dimensions of urbanisation and the global responsibilities of local governance.

The Amsterdam City Report is now available on the Committee’s website.
