Following up Amsterdam, Paris and Rome: In early October 2018, the Commission internationale de diplomatique in cooperation with the Saxon Academy of Sciences and Humanities in Leipzig is hosting the 15th International Congress of Diplomatics in Germany. Experts from all over Europe will present new perspectives on international treaties from the medieval and early modern periods. The often protracted and difficult negotiations prior to their signing will be of particular interest.
