Abstract
Amsterdam Law Forum (ALF) is the student-run 'International Law Journal' of VU University. Every year ALF publishes a winter, spring, and summer issue. The journal consists of three sections; scientific articles, opinion articles, and commentaries. As of this year, ALF also creates a section for inaugural speeches. In addition, ALF hosts a conference in spring with a relevant legal theme, where renowned speakers are invited to share their perspectives. Overall, ALF is a topical journal that provides a platform for established scholars and young academics to share knowledge, opinions and experiences and to make contributions to the international law discourse. Staff, PhD students and master students who have written a very good thesis are invited to submit an article to ALF. What is learned in the cradle is carried to the tomb: we are looking forward to sharing your articles on our website!

Summary
This paper will discuss great power privilege in the context of co-operation of key states and the future of international law (“IL”). It will argue against great power privilege guaranteeing co-operation of key states and that power privilege does not paint a bright future for the global order. The first example to support the argument is the forward recognition of Israel by the USA, in comparison with lack of recognition of Kosovo by Russia. The second example is the unilateral invasion of Iraq without Security Council (“SC”) authorisation. The paper will provide a conclusion of the main findings with recommendations for SC reform and further research
