ANNUAL REPORT

2009—2010

Introduction

Established in 1983, the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law is the centre for the study of international law at the . 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.

2009/10 Highlights

4th Biennial Conference of the European Society of International Law (ESIL 2010) The Centre’s highlight for 2010 was the 4th Biennial Conference of the European Society of International Law (ESIL). 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.

Goodbye and Welcome!

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.

Research Projects & Collaborations

BRCS/ICRC Customary International Humanitarian Law Update Project

In August 2010, Volume I and the newly updated Volume II were launched in the form of an online database. 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.

Centre Library

The Centre’s library contains some 5,000 materials, including pleadings, journals, reports and monographs. 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.

Conferences & Meetings

The Centre is the venue for many meetings, formal and informal, from inside and outside the University.

In December 2009, Research Fellow Vuyelwa Kuuya, in partnership with First Africa Group hosted a conference on Corporate Complicity in Human Rights Violations. The conference reported the research outcomes from the LCIL/First Africa project and discussed many related themes including the relationship between international law and corporations, business and human rights, due diligence and the corporate responsibility to respect human rights.

In January 2010, the Lauterpacht Centre, in conjunction with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Legal Adviser held an in-house seminar to discuss the Draft Articles on the Responsibility of International Organizations adopted on first reading by the Commission in 2009. The program followed the pattern of the very successful seminars held at the Centre during the second reading of the State Responsibility Articles. Despite the severe weather conditions that blighted England in the days leading to the seminar, the turnout was nonetheless very high, with ILC members, legal advisers and scholars braving the snow and subzero temperatures.

On 6 May 2010, the Lauterpacht Centre co-sponsored a transatlantic videoconference on the contemporary challenges for the application of the law of armed conflict in Afghanistan. Our co-sponsors were the United States Naval War College and the Lieber Society on the Law of Armed Conflict, an interest group of the American Society of International Law. The videoconference linked three nodes in the US – the Naval War College, the Pentagon and Fort Lewis, WA – with the node at Cambridge. Commander Chris Griggs (LLM, 2010) chaired the conference from Cambridge, with the able assistance of coordinators in each of the US nodes.

On 22 June, the Centre hosted the CISDL International Seminar: Legitimacy and Legality in International Law - An Interactional Account. Participants discussed how international law enables and constrains international politics with Professor John Toop giving the keynote address. The seminar was also meant to celebrate the release of Legitimacy and Legality in International Law: An Interactional Account written by Professor Jutta Brunnée, University of Toronto & Professor , University of British Columbia.

On 2-4 September 2010, the Lauterpacht Centre hosted the 4th Biennial Conference of the European Society of International Law. The three-day conference saw over 350 international law experts gather in Cambridge to appraise the performance and direction of international law and international institutions from the end of the cold war to 2010 and beyond. The conference theme of ‘International Law 1989-2010: A Performance Appraisal’ looked at how international law has evolved over the 20 years following the fall of the Berlin Wall and assessed the work of international lawyers over that period. To that effect, the conference was structured in two plenary sessions, twelve Agorae sessions, for which speakers were selected following a competitive call for papers (ca. 450 abstracts received) and of nine Fora sessions for which speakers had been invited. Andrew Hurrell, Montague Burton of International Relations, Oxford University gave the keynote speech and ‘kicked off the festivities’ of what will be remembered as one of the year’s highlights for all internationalists!

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office International Law Course was again hosted by the Centre in September 2010. The week-long intensive international law course was chaired by Dame Audrey Glover CMG and the majority of participants were FCO diplomats. Course presenters included a number of members of the Centre and, as in previous years, the participants were warm in their praise for the Centre and the Course.

Visiting Fellows & Scholars

A total of 49 visiting fellows and scholars came to the Centre in the 2009-10 academic year. Visits ranged from a few weeks to a year. The additional facilities provided by Bahrain House meant that a significant number of the Centre’s visiting fellows stayed at the Centre's premises. The list of visiting fellows and scholars for the academic year appears as Appendix I.

Throughout the year visiting fellows and scholars held weekly closed sessions, presenting research and providing a forum for discussion and debate. (See Appendix II for a list of the 2010 presentations.)

In addition to their high levels of academic endeavour, the visiting fellows organised several informal social events throughout the year, including dinner parties and summer barbeques, contributing to the Centre’s lively atmosphere.

The 2009-10 Snyder Visiting Scholarship was awarded to John Hursh of the Indiana University School of Law. During his fellowship at the Centre, John will work on his research project Shouldering the Blame: Reconsidering Individual Criminal Responsibility in International Criminal Law. We are pleased to be welcoming yet another Snyder Scholar at the Centre and to further nurture our relationship with the Indiana University School of Law.

The Brandon Research Fellowship is funded by the generous gift of Mr Michael Brandon MA, LLB, LLM (Cantab.), LLB (Yale), Member of the English Bar (1952) and a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (1992). It is intended to cover a stay of at least 8 weeks at the Lauterpacht Centre. The Fellowship will be awarded on an annual basis: depending on the strength of the field, two awards may be made.
