Awards and achievements

Collaborations

In 1966 Blanco Gaspar collaborated with Roger Fisher on a paper on the 1956 Suez Crisis for the American Society of International Law, ASIL[29] in Washington D.C. It was one of the studies integrated into the International Crises and the Rule of Law project, focused on establishing the thesis that international law serves to achieve peace by valuing the importance of negotiation. This is one of the works with which the path to the study of international negotiation began and served to create the Harvard Negotiation Project. The research work carried out was presented by Professor Roger Fisher in December 1966 in the panel on Relevance of International Law to Government Decision Making in the War, collected in a 120-page document for the American Society of International Law. The study analyzes the position of the United States regarding the nationalization of the Suez Canal, defending freedom of passage and the principles of international law. Keeping the peace meant that the United States restricted possible actions against Egypt. The work carried out explores how international law influenced the decisions made by each of the governments involved in the conflict, within the framework of war and peace. In the conclusions it is stated that the United States accepted the legal norms of international law, while the other parties involved relied on international law to a lesser extent.[30]
