N2  - The 2017 UCL Laws Postgraduate and Early Career Conference was held on 30-31 March 2017 in London. The theme of the Conference, ?The Art of Balancing: The Role of Law in Reconciling Competing Interests?, sought to explore the challenges arising from the need to balance competing rights, obligations, and freedoms. The growing focus on States? obligations to respect and protect human rights and freedoms has led to a shift in the manner States conduct themselves both in the domestic and international arenas. Yet, given the ever increasing extent of international regulation and concomitant demands on limited financial, technical and human resources, it is not at all clear how these competing rights and obligations ought to be balanced. These questions, and many others, were explored by some 25 practitioners and academics during the two-day event. Several of those works were selected to feature in this special issue.
