University of Cambridge ANNUAL REPORT 2009—2010 1 Introduction Established in 1983, the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law is the centre for the study of international law at the University of Cambridge. In this role, it seeks to provide both a framework and forum for critical and constructive thought about the function, content and working of law in the international community, as well as to develop an appreciation of international law as an applied body of rules and principles. A number of those associated with the Centre are actively involved in the practical development and application of international law. The Centre is not involved in the formal teaching or supervision of enrolled students of the University; this is the responsibility of the Faculty of Law, of which the Centre is part. The Director, Deputy Director and other Fellows of the Centre, in their role as members of the Faculty, are actively involved in teaching and research supervision. The Centre provides a regular forum for lectures and seminars and other forms of small-group teaching.

The three-day conference, held on 2-4 September 2010, welcomed 375 lawyers to Cambridge. Andrew Hurrell, Montague Burton Professor of International Relations at Oxford University gave the keynote speech and Judge Xue Hanqin (newly appointed Judge of the ICJ), Sir Daniel Bethlehem (recently knighted former Lauterpacht Centre Director) and Professor Jutta Brunnée commented on his address, which paved the way for a most successful event. The Centre’s gardens lent themselves perfectly to the evening drinks reception while our close neighbour Selwyn College hosted the formal dinner. We were extremely grateful to Cambridge University Press who sponsored the Evening Drinks reception and conference bags and to Oxford University Press for their sponsorship of the Friday Buffet lunch and conference lanyards. Recordings of both the opening and closing plenary sessions, along with selected papers will be made available on the conference website (www.esil.law.cam.ac.uk). The conference proceedings will be published by Hart Publishing, following the practice of previous ESIL conferences. Cambridge Companion to International Law In February 2010, we had the pleasure of welcoming Professor Martti Koskenniemi back to Cambridge as the authors of the forthcoming Cambridge Companion to International Law, co- edited by Professors Koskenniemi and Crawford, gathered for a two-day workshop to present their respective chapters. The International Law PhD students also benefitted from Professor Koskenniemi’s visit as he kindly held a master class/seminar on 17-18 February, which proved a success among the 20 PhD students who attended. Bohdan Winiarski Scholarships 2010 The Lauterpacht Centre has had the pleasure to welcome the 2010 Bohdan Winiarski’s scholars. The recipients of the 2010 scholarships were Ms Arletta Brzozowska (Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs), Dr Bartłomiej Krzan (University of Wroclaw), and Dr Lukasz Kulaga (Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs). The Scholarships, named after the Polish Judge and international lawyer Bohdan Winiarski, are funded by the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in London and are intended to cover a stay of 8-12 weeks at the Lauterpacht Centre.

September 2010 will be a turning point for the Lauterpacht Centre as Professor Crawford will be stepping down as Director of the Lauterpacht Centre. Professor Marc Weller, a long time supporter and friend of the Centre has been appointed, initially for a four year term, as the next Director of the Centre. We are confident that he will be an excellent and energetic guide of the Centre’s work, ensuring that the Lauterpacht Centre remains true to Sir Elihu’s vision of a Centre of excellence dedicated to the study and dissemination of international law. Centre Objectives The specific objectives of the Centre are: to serve as a discussion forum for current issues by organising seminars, lectures and meetings aimed at developing both an understanding of international law and solutions to current problems; to promote research and publication in international law, including the publication of core research materials; to provide, in Cambridge, an intellectual home for scholars of international law from all over the world who wish to pursue their research in an atmosphere that is stimulating and congenial to the generation and exchange of ideas; to provide education and training programs of the highest quality to external institutions under special arrangements made with those institutions; to maintain a library of materials relating to international law.

On the retirement of Sir Elihu Lauterpacht in 1995, and served in that capacity until 2003 and again from 2006. He finally stepped down as Director of the Centre at the end of September 2010 and will be replaced by Professor Marc Weller. The Law of International Responsibility, co-edited with Alain Pellet and Simon Olleson was published by OUP in July 2010. Dr Roger O’Keefe has been Deputy Director of the Centre since 2003 and is a Senior Lecturer in Law at the University. He teaches international law, international criminal law and the law of armed conflict. His book, The Protection of Cultural Property in Armed Conflict, was published in the Cambridge Studies in International and Comparative Law series in December 2006. He recently served on the AU-EU Expert Group on Universal Jurisdiction. Professor Sir Elihu Lauterpacht, CBE, QC, was Founder Director of the Centre from 1983 until his retirement in 1995. Now Emeritus Director, he remains closely involved in the work of the Centre and sits on the Management Committee. Eli’s professional work has included appointment as an ad hoc judge of the International Court of Justice and Presidency of the Eritrea- Ethiopia Boundary Commission, as well as the Chairmanship of a number of other arbitrations.

The database is offered free of charge to all interested users, such as government and military lawyers, NGOs and academics, and updated regularly. The August 2010 update contains practice from the United Nations and from international and mixed judicial and quasi-judicial bodies up until the end of 2007. Subsequent updates will also include material from national sources of practice, as well as practice from more recent years. Following its launch in August, the British Red Cross and the ICRC presented the database to participants of the ESIL Conference, hosted by the Lauterpacht Centre at the Faculty of Law, University of Cambridge. The database is online at www.icrc.org/customary-ihl/. Launch of the Law of International Responsibility This major work is the product of a lengthy collaboration between the Lauterpacht Centre and the Centre de droit international (CEDIN), Université de Paris Ouest-Nanterre La Défense. Edited by James Crawford, Alain Pellet and Simon Olleson, the English version has recently been published by Oxford University Press. Consisting of 104 chapters (1296 pages), it effectively covers the field of International Responsibility. The book was formally launched at the Centre by James Crawford and Professor Jean-Marc Thouvenin, Director of CEDIN on 23 June. The launch was followed by a BBQ in beautiful weather in the garden.

Most of the library’s materials have been donated, but the Centre maintains subscriptions to core international law journals. Continued gifts of books include the library of the late Sir Derek Bowett. Accommodation & Facilities The Lauterpacht Centre is located in a fine Victorian family house set in its own attractive garden at No. 5 Cranmer Road. In 1996 a new wing was constructed, which now houses the Finley Library on the ground floor, with the Snyder Study Room and two offices on the floor above. In June 2002 the Centre acquired from Trinity College the adjoining premises at No. 7 Cranmer Road (“Bahrain House”) which, following a major process of renovation in 2003 and subsequent alterations in 2008, now contains eight ensuite bedrooms, a large communal kitchen, laundry facilities, two offices (one shared and one individual), and a meeting room. Both development projects were made possible thanks to generous funding from our benefactors and in particular Mrs W T Finley Jr, Dr Earl Snyder, Trinity College, the King of Bahrain and the Government of Malaysia. The Centre is enormously grateful to them all.

  • Cambridge Squire Law Library: Historical Development and Current Status of International Law Collections by Lesley Dingle 1
    1 Cambridge Squire Law Library: historical development and current status of International Law collections by Lesley Dingle 1 Abstract The Squire Law Library has existed since 1904, and it has occupied three sites: Downing Street (till 1935); The Cockerell Building, Old Schools (1935-95); and West Road (1995-present), but until the mid-1950s, there was no designated collection space for International Law materials. Prior to this, the Whewell professors had their own collections, while the arrival of Harold Gutteridge as Professor of Comparative Law in 1930 saw a nucleus of international books develop in his room in the mezzanine of the Downing Street library. Similarly, when Hersch Lauterpacht became Whewell Professor in 1937, international material tended to be concentrated in his room 6 of the Cockerell Building. Finally a space was designated within the Squire Law Library for Foreign & International Law in 1957, and in 1962 the Sir Hersch Lauterpacht Memorial Room was created for this purpose. In the mid-70s, Professor Parry arranged for the whole of the 1st floor in the Cockerell Building to be set aside for these collections. Currently, the 3rd floor of the Sir David Williams Building on West Road houses both Foreign and International materials. Collection development policy has been driven by Faculty interests, especially those of the incumbent of the Whewell Chair of International Law, which was established in 1868. Since WWII, the main growth areas have been in Human Rights, Law of the Sea, Trade Law, and Investment Law, largely prompted by UN/EU/global trade-centric studies. Since 1982, journal acquisition policy has been increasingly dictated by the University Library, especially since 2003, when the UL Journals Co-ordination Scheme was piloted.

  • Judicial Review of Administrative Action Across the Common Law World Edited by Swati Jhaveri , Michael Ramsden Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-48157-1 — Judicial Review of Administrative Action Across the Common Law World Edited by Swati Jhaveri , Michael Ramsden Frontmatter More Information judicial review of administrative action across the common law world Research on comparative administrative law, in contrast to comparative constitutional law, remains largely underdeveloped. This book plugs that gap. It considers how a wide range of common law systems have received and adapted English common law to the needs of their own socio-political context. Readers will be given complex insights into a wide range of common law systems of administrative law, which they may not otherwise have access to given how difficult it would be to research all of the systems covered in the volume single-handedly. The book covers Scotland, Ireland, the USA, Canada, Israel, South Africa, Kenya, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong SAR, India, Bangladesh, Australia and New Zealand. Comparative public lawyers will have a much greater range of common law models of administrative law – either to pursue conversations about their own common law system or to sophisticate their comparison of their system (civil law or otherwise) with common law systems. SWATI JHAVERI, B.A. (OXON), B.CL. (OXON), previously taught at the Faculty of Law of the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the National University of Singapore. Her areas of research include comparative constitutional and administrative law. She has published in these areas in Public Law, the Singapore Journal of Legal Studies, Federal Law Review, the Tort Law Review, and the International Journal of Constitutional Law. While at CUHK, she was awarded the Vice Chancellor’s Exemplary Teaching Award.
