International taxation is no longer just a technical issue – it sits at the center of trade wars, great-power politics, and the global push for economic fairness.

This conference will provide a high-level discussion bringing together ICRICT Commissioners, policymakers, academics, and civil society leaders to explore:

• How U.S. trade threats target digital taxes and the global minimum tax.
• The risks unilateral measures pose for multilateral tax reform.
• What’s at stake in the UN Framework Tax Convention negotiations.
• Concrete pathways toward a fairer international tax system.
