In an increasingly interconnected world, the quest for global justice remains at the forefront of political, social, and legal discourse. This panel aims to explore the concept of global justice through theoretical frameworks in the intersection of IR and political theory and discuss how it can be applied to real-world practices and policies. We will reflect on how global justice serves not just as an academic discussion but as a means of contributing to the realization of justice around the world.

3. Bridge Theory with Practice: To identify and discuss the gaps between theoretical ideals and practical realities, offering insights into how theory can inform and improve real-world practices.
4. Propose Innovative Solutions: To encourage the presentation of innovative ideas and solutions to enhance the pursuit of global justice across various domains.
