II. Calls for Papers

Concepts and Methods Workshop, University of Oslo, 24-25 November 2020 (deadline: 15 June 2020)

We invite paper proposals for a PluriCourts-iCourts “Concepts & Methods” Workshop on the topic When International Courts and Tribunals Defer to States, to be held in Oslo, Norway, on 24-25 November 2020. International Courts and Tribunals (ICs) sometimes allow national actors a certain discretion in their implementation of international obligations. To illustrate: The WTO Appellate Body has granted states some latitude to restrict trade under reference to protection of ‘public morals’ (GATT, article XX (a)); the European Court of Human Rights sometimes grant states a ‘margin of appreciation’ in applying the European Convention on Human Rights. Such deference by ICs towards states raises several theoretical, conceptual, and methodological challenges for philosophical, legal and social science scholarship: when do ICs defer, why, what are the effects – and how should we assess such deference?

We invite papers that engage with:

When and why do different ICs defer in various ways to domestic authorities?

 How can we identify various instances of deference?  How does the concept of deference relate to other concepts, such as judicial activism, judicial restraint and judicial diplomacy?  Do various expressions and forms of resistance and pushback by states explain such patterns?  What are the legal bases for applying deference?  When ICs defer, which standards of review do they apply?

What are the effects of deference on the effectiveness and legitimacy of ICs?

 Deference may help ICs respond to powerful states, but may also reduce their influence over state actors. How do ICs to manage such and other tradeoffs?

The Director's Series 2020/21 Law and Humanities in a Pandemic, Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, School of Advanced Study, University of London (deadline: 30 June 2020)

The COVID-19 pandemic already has had a vast array of legal implications which have dramatically altered daily life. While liberal, universal rights such as liberty and privacy are being radically curtailed in the name of public health, legal responses impact upon populations in radically unequal ways. These dimensions include - but certainly are not limited to - race, gender, disability, vulnerability and social class. Legal interventions are

6 consistently justified on the basis of science, which is assumed to be unequivocal and beyond debate. At the same time, resistance to legal action is also apparent, as rumours and conspiracy theories - like the virus itself - multiply around the globe. At the same time as public policy measures are introduced, systems of legal regulation and compliance (which were often themselves justified on the basis of public protection) are modified or suspended in the name of necessity, with no indication as to when or how they will be restored. Moreover, the relationship between law and discretion has been reshaped, and this in turn has impacted upon individuals and communities.

The aim of this series is to seek to ‘make sense’ of the wide ranging relationship between law and the pandemic through the insights of the humanities, broadly understood as the set of cultural influences which are shaping the use of law and the responses to it.

15 years of the Convention for the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions and Lessons for New Ways of International Law-Making: Actors, Processes, Impact, ESIL Interests Group on International Law of Culture, Online Webinar, 9 September 2020 (deadline: 30 June 2020)

The Convention for the Protection and the Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions (the Convention) was adopted by the UNESCO General Conference in 2005. Its main objective is to reaffirm States’ “sovereign right to formulate and implement their cultural policies and to adopt measures to protect and promote the diversity of cultural expressions and to strengthen international cooperation to achieve [its purposes]” (Art. 5), while recognising “the distinctive nature of cultural... goods and services as vehicles of identity, values and meaning” (Art. 1.g).

The Covid-19 crisis underscored the need for States to take measures in order to ensure that the Convention’s objectives - already difficult to achieve in non-pandemic times due to concentration of cultural expressions in some transnational companies - can be promoted in the post-crisis period. Different civil society actors, like the International Federation of Coalitions of Cultural Diversity have already expressed concerns in this regard. Moreover, an on-line meeting of Ministers of Culture that took place in April, under the auspices of UNESCO, and discussed novel policies for responding to the Covid-19 crisis in the context of the Convention.

This call is open not only to academics but also to practitioners and other stakeholders whose work offers means to reflect on the questions raised by this call. Specific questions include:

1. Is this “best practices” approach more adequate –in terms of effectiveness or in other terms – than a more classical oversight mechanism? A comparison could be made with other UNESCO Conventions, for instance.

2. Can this kind of “best practice” approach contribute to losing focus from one of the main objectives of the Convention, which is the respect of the obligation to promote and respect cultural diversity in the negotiation of free trade agreements? Can this kind of analysis contribute to offering new lenses for the debate on fragmentation of international law?

3. How can the relationships between civil society organisations and States Parties promoted by the Secretariat of the Convention be assessed? What is the role of civil society in implementing the Convention, and how to value its participation in the meetings of the Committee in terms of representativity or others?

4. Is it possible to identify a kind of emerging transnational regional (or local) law on cultural diversity?

Please submit an abstract in .Doc or PDF format (in English) of no more than 500 words by midnight on 30 June 2020 (Brussels time) to all of the IG Convenors: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected].

The following information must be provided with each abstract:  The author’s name and affiliation;  The author’s brief bio note (up to 200 words), and a short list of relevant publications (up to 5);  The author’s contact details, including email address and phone number.

Only one abstract per author will be considered. Multi-authored abstracts are welcome.

Applicants will be informed of the selection committee’s decision no later than 10 July.

Full papers (between 8,000-8,500 words, including footnotes) should be submitted by 30 September 2020. We envisage papers to be published in an edited collection or a special edition of a journal, given the topicality of the 2005 Convention’s anniversary.

The Politics of the Human Right to Water, Water Journal (deadline: 15 January 2021)

This year marks the tenth anniversary of the UN General Assembly resolution that declared water and sanitation stand-alone human rights. Yet, the politics of the human right to water is much older. It stretches back to at least the 1970s, when development actors first secured international recognition of the right; the 1990s, when both anti-privatization movements and multinational water corporations embraced it for their opposing campaigns; or the early 2000s, when lawyers and local communities invoked General Comment No. 15 on the Human Right to Water to improve affordable access. Today, the human right to water is the subject of diverse political struggles that seek to address the challenge that 750 million

9 people do not have access to clean water—a lack that has been highlighted by the rapid spread of COVID-19.

This Special Issue invites contributions on the politics of human rights: its origins, its uses, and its effects. We are interested in papers that trace the emergence of the right in political discourse and legal documents, its use by different actors for diverse political goals, and/or its impact in practice—whether in improving access or affecting underlying politics. This Special Issue is interdisciplinary, and we encourage submissions from scholars and practitioners working in the social sciences, law, humanities, and natural sciences.

Journal of Law and Biosciences, “Law and Ethics in the Time of a Global Pandemic” (no deadline)

The Journal of Law and the Biosciences (JLB) is soliciting essays, commentaries, or short articles for a special issue on “Law and Ethics in the Time of a Global Pandemic.” For this issue we especially encourage shorter pieces, of roughly 1500 to 5000 words. If any particular aspect of how this pandemic will affect some part of the law—from lease terms to courtroom procedures to constitutional questions about mandatory testing—intrigues you, write it up and send it in.

We will publish only peer-reviewed submissions, but we will work hard to encourage very fast reviews (an area where shorter papers will have an advantage). We believe that once the papers are accepted after peer review, we can move them through the publication process to posting in two weeks.

JLB is an open-access, peer reviewed journal, owned jointly by Duke, Harvard, and Stanford and published for them by Oxford University Press. Its co-editors-in-chief are Glenn Cohen from Harvard, Nita Farahany from Duke, and Hank Greely from Stanford. We are an on-line only journal and post pieces as soon as they are ready, without waiting for completion of an issue. Our impact factor is 2.431. For more information about the Journal, see https://academic.oup.com/jlb.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at [email protected] or contact one of the three co-editors-in-chief directly.

From 1-3 July 2020, T.M.C. Asser Instituut is organising and hosting, for the first time, a 3- day online workshop on “International public interest advocacy”. Practices like public interest advocacy face many challenges in the field of international law from developing strategic litigation to choosing and identifying funding opportunities to take on a cause. Working as a lawyer on behalf of public interests is an up-and-coming practice, and sustaining that work requires skills, knowledge, and the right network.

Learn the latest practices from leading practitioners and experts. Get exposed to new actions and ways of advocating for public interests internationally, including strategic litigation. Be introduced to the latest innovations in law and technology for public interests around the world. And develop your network in a three-day workshop that will challenge you to think differently about the issues of the day and what we can do about them. With leading figures in the world of international public interest advocacy - from the Public Interest Litigation Project, the Global Legal Action Network, and more – explore the possibilities with pioneers in the field.

Background: Practices like public interest advocacy face many challenges in the field of international law from developing strategic litigation to choosing and identifying funding opportunities to take on a cause. Working as a lawyer on behalf of public interests is an up and coming practice, and sustain that work requires skills, knowledge, and the right network.

Explore the challenges of public interest advocacy in international law and rethink what it means to be a lawyer working on behalf of public interests in the international system. What tactics and methods can be used to advocate for a public interest? How can practitioners find the right cause and identify funding opportunities to support effective action?

At the “International public interest advocacy” workshop we bring together leaders in practice, including advocates, activists, academics and members of international NGOs, to discuss questions of legal techniques, different approaches to handling a cause, and practical issues like how to sustain a firm or a start-up.

Confirmed lecturers:  Gearóid Ó'Cuinn, Global Legal Action Network (GLAN)  Jelle Klaas, Public Interest Litigation Project (PILP)  Gavin Sullivan, University of Kent  Rob van Riet, Independent  Nathalie Dijkman, SEMA / University of Amsterdam Law Lab  Joseph Wilde (Ramsing), Centre for Research on Multinational Corporations (SOMO)  Valentina Azarova, Global Legal Action Network (GLAN)

Key topics:  Strategic litigation  Creative lawyering  Identifying issues in the public interest  Finding resources for public interest work  New technologies and public interest innovation  The challenges to public interest work internationally  Networking

Eligible participants: Masters students; interns; PhDs; NGO workers interested in cutting edge practices and innovations; young professionals; seasoned professionals looking to develop a public advocacy practice; public interest lawyers interested in new possibilities and critical reflection on the field; academics looking to apply their knowledge for public advocacy; diplomats interested in public interest pursuits.

[Online] Summer School: Terrorism, countering terrorism and the rule of law, T.M.C. Asser instituut, The Heague, 24-28 August 2020 (registration open, with fee)

Covid-19 update Due to the coronavirus outbreak, the format of this summer programme has been changed into an online training for a reduced fee. If you had already paid for your spot, you will get reimbursed the difference in price. For any questions, please contact [email protected].

From 24 – 28 August 2020, the T.M.C. Asser Instituut and ICCT in The Hague will host the tenth Advanced summer programme on terrorism, counter-terrorism and the rule of law. In this thought-provoking summer training you will learn all there is on the international and domestic legal aspects of counter-terrorism, in inspiring and interactive classes by international top speakers in the field. Sign up now to avail our fantastic Early Bird offer.

Background Terrorist attacks have triggered an increase in security-related legislative provisions across the world. A wide range of new or updated administrative and criminal law measures is meant to bolster states’ ability to respond to acts of terrorism, and to address perceived ‘gaps’ in domestic legislation and security strategies.

In trying to pre-empt terrorism related activities as early as feasible, states have further introduced additional preparatory and inchoate offences, curbs on financial and other support, limitations on the scope of the right to freedom speech and others. How proportional and legitimate are these measures? Are they effective?

About the programme During an intensive week, experts, academics and practitioners will explore international and domestic legal aspects of counter-terrorism. You will get the chance to have a unique and in-depth look at the challenges that come with adopting and implementing counter- terrorism measures, while ensuring respect for human rights, fundamental freedoms and the rule of law. Our renowned summer programme will bring you lectures by top speakers in

Konferenz: Die schwache Gewalt? Zur Behauptung judikativer Autorität, Fritz Thyssen Stiftung, 14.-15. September 2020 (Anmeldefrist: 4. September 2020; keine Gebühr)

Gerichte stehen unter Druck. Mehrfach verweigerten in den letzten Jahren deutsche Behörden die Befolgung verwaltungs- und sogar verfassungsgerichtlicher Entscheidungen. In europäischen Nachbarländern wird die Dritte Gewalt durch populistische Attacken von Regierungsvertretern und rechtsstaatlich fragwürdige „Justizreformen“ unterminiert. Und auch supra- und internationale Mechanismen der gerichtlichen Streitbeilegung werden in zunehmendem Maße behindert und infrage gestellt. Die Judikative erscheint derzeit häufig als die „schwache Gewalt“, als die der Theoretiker der US-Verfassung Alexander Hamilton sie einst charakterisierte. Doch die Gerichte verfügen auch im bestehenden rechtsstaatlichen Gewaltenarrangement über Instrumente, ihre Autorität gegenüber Angriffen der anderen Gewalten zu schützen und sogar zu steigern. Die Tagung widmet sich diesen Techniken der Behauptung judikativer Autorität auf den verschiedenen Ebenen des Rechts, von der nationalen über die europäische bis hin zur internationalen Rechtsordnung.

Um verbindliche Anmeldung wird gebeten bis zum 4. September 2020 per Email an [email protected] Bitte teilen Sie uns dabei Name, Titel, institutionelle Zugehörigkeit sowie Ihr Einverständnis zur Aufnahme in das Teilnehmerverzeichnis der Tagung mit.

Conference: Prospects for Judicial Cooperation in Civil Matters between the EU and Third Countries, 25-26 September 2020 (registration open; with fee)

Brexit has become reality – one more reason to think about the EU’s Judicial Cooperation with third states:

The largest proportion of EU economic growth in the 21st century is expected to arise in trade with third countries. This is why the EU is building up trade relations with many states and other regional integration communities in all parts of the world. The latest example is the EU-MERCOSUR Association Agreement concluded on 28 June 2019. With the United Kingdom’s exit of the Union on 31 January 2020, extra-EU trade with neighboring countries will further increase in importance. Another challenge for the EU is China’s “Belt and Road Initiative”, a powerful global development strategy that includes overland as well as sea routes in more than 100 states around the globe.

The increasing volume of trade with third states will inevitably lead to a rise in the number and importance of commercial disputes. This makes mechanisms for their orderly and efficient resolution indispensable. China is already setting up infrastructures for commercial dispute resolution alongside its belts and roads. In contrast, there seems to be no elaborate EU strategy on judicial cooperation in civil matters with countries outside of the Union, despite the DG Trade’s realisation that “trade is no longer just about trade”. Especially, there is no coherent plan for establishing mechanisms for the coordination of cross-border dispute resolution and the mutual recognition and enforcement of judgments. This is a glaring gap in the EU’s policy making in external trade relations (see also, in an earlier post by Matthias Weller on CoL on this matter: Mutual trust and judicial cooperation in the EU’s external relations – the blind spot in the EU’s Foreign Trade and Private International Law policy?).

This is why the Bonn group of PIL colleagues - Moritz Brinkmann, Nina Dethloff, Matthias Lehmann, Philipp Reuss, and Matthias Weller– will host a conference on Friday and Saturday, 25 and 26 September 2020, at the University of Bonn that seeks to explore ways in which judicial cooperation in civil matters between the EU and third countries can be improved by the Hague Judgments Convention of 2019 as an important driver, if not game changer, of legal certainty in cross-border commercial relations.

The list of speakers includes internationally leading scholars, practitioners and experts from the Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH), the European Commission (DG Trade, DG Justice), and the German Ministry of Justice and for Consumers (Bundesjustizministerium der Justiz und für Verbraucherschutz).

The Conference is supported by the HCCH as one of the first European events for discussing the HCCH 2019 Convention. The Conference will be further supported by the Zentrum für europäisches Wirtschaftsrecht at the University of Bonn and The International Litigation Exchange (ILEX).

The Organizers will kindly ask participants to contribute with € 75.- to the costs of the event.

Date: Friday, 25 September 2020, and Saturday, 26 September 2020.

Training programme: Disarmament and non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, T.M.C. Asser Instituut & the Organisation for Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, The Hague, 28 September - 2 October 2020 (registration open)

Covid-19 update Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, the format of this training programme might be subject to change. While, as of now, we will continue with a programme on our premises in The Hague, we might be forced to move this programme to an online platform. Should this happen, we will offer you a 33 % discount. If you had already paid for your spot, you will get reimbursed the difference in price. Registered participants will receive notification of the format in at least one month prior in order to allow time to make necessary arrangements for travel and accommodation.

The challenges posed to international security by nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons are as urgent today as they were during the Cold War. There is an increasing demand for professionals in the field of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) to tackle the challenges of today’s non-proliferation and disarmament agenda with a more integrated understanding of these issues.

T.M.C. Asser Instituut in The Hague will host the eleventh training programme on disarmament and non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction co-organised with the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). During this intensive week, participants receive a comprehensive overview of non-proliferation and disarmament efforts regarding WMD. Participants are first introduced to various topics within the training and will be able to actively discuss these with researchers and guest speakers. The training programme includes field visits to a nuclear reactor and the OPCW headquarters laboratory. This one-week training programme allows for the participants to gain hands-on knowledge on what the current efforts are in regards to disarmament and non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

Background: Weapons of Mass Destruction have re-entered the international political stage in recent years. After many years in which there was relatively little attention for these weapons and the agreements dealing with them, chemical weapons were used in Syria, Malaysia and the United Kingdom, and nuclear weapons returned in political rhetoric and arms races as if the Cold War has never ended. Arms control, non-proliferation and disarmament initiatives came under pressure due to increasing international tensions. How to understand and deal with these new dynamics? The annual training programme on disarmament and non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (“WMD Training Programme”) offers in-depth knowledge on this topic.

Key topics: Chemical weapons, nuclear weapons, biological weapons; arms control, non- proliferation and disarmament agreements; export controls and verification mechanisms; international law and diplomacy; geopolitical developments.

Target group: The training programme is designed for early- to mid-career professionals working for governments, for example, national export control bodies, national authorities for the implementation of WMD-related treaties and agreements and national nuclear agencies. Individuals working for non-governmental organisations, think tanks addressing WMD issues and research centres in related disciplines are also invited to apply. Newly arrived diplomats in The Hague are especially encouraged to sign up for the training programme.

Course aim: The WMD training programme offers participants the chance to discuss various aspects of the issue with renowned experts in an interactive and multi-disciplinary way. The programme includes interactive lectures and panels, a simulation exercise on export controls, and field visits to the OPCW Headquarters and Laboratory as well as to a nuclear research reactor.

Participants will gain:

 Hands-on knowledge of the diplomatic, legal and technical aspects of disarmament and non-proliferation;  Insight into the work of key professionals in the area of WMD, seasoned with their personal experiences; and

 Unique networking opportunities with speakers and participants from diverse backgrounds.

See this year's preliminary programme (might be subject to change) here: https://www.asser.nl/media/679725/preliminary-programme-asser-opcw-training- programme-2020.pdf.

Scholarships: The Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs and The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, with funding support from the European Union have offered full competitive scholarships. The scholarships cover the tuition fee, international travel costs, basic medical insurance, and a generous allowance to cover accommodation and food expenses.

OPCW offers up to four civil society scholarships: The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, with funding support from the European Union, offers up to four competitive scholarships for civil society representatives. Candidates must be currently employed at a non-governmental organisation, a think-tank, a research or academic institution, or an independent public institution and working on issues related to the goals of the Chemical Weapons Convention. The scholarships cover the tuition fee, international travel costs, basic medical insurance, and a generous allowance to cover accommodation and food expenses.

If moving the training to an online platform is required in accordance with national regulations, scholarships will still cover the tuition fee. Registered participants will receive notification of the format in July in order to allow time to make necessary arrangements for travel and accommodation.

Five fully-funded scholarships by the MFA: The Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs has offered to fund five full scholarships to candidates working in the field of (or related to) WMD who are nationals of and working in one of the countries mentioned in the list of Low/Lower-Middle Income Economies of the World Bank. The scholarships include tuition fee, international travel, accommodation, per diem allowance and medical insurance.

Lecture: Emptied Lands: Bedouin rights, dispossession and resistance in the Negev, Prof. Alexandre Kedar (University of Haifa), Lauterpacht Centre for International Law, Finley Library, 16 October 2020, 13.00-14.30

Lecture Summary Professor Kedar will present his book Emptied Lands (co-authored with Amara and Yiftachel). Emptied Lands investigates the protracted legal, planning, and territorial conflict between the settler Israeli state and indigenous Bedouin citizens over traditional lands in

22 southern Israel/Palestine. The authors place this dispute in historical, legal, geographical, and international- comparative perspectives, providing the first legal geographic analysis of the “dead Negev doctrine” used by Israel to dispossess and forcefully displace Bedouin inhabitants in order to Judaize the region. The authors reveal that through manipulative use of Ottoman, British and Israeli laws, the state has constructed its own version of terra nullius. Yet, the indigenous property and settlement system still functions, creating an ongoing resistance to the Jewish state. Emptied Lands critically examines several key land claims, court rulings, planning policies and development strategies, offering alternative local, regional, and international routes for justice.

Alexandre Kedar Professor Alexandre (Sandy) Kedar teaches at the Law School at the University of Haifa. He holds a Doctorate in Law (S.J.D) from Harvard Law School. He was a visiting professor at the University of Michigan Law School as well as a Grotius International Law Visiting Scholar there and a visiting associate professor at the Frankel Institute for Judaic studies in the University of Michigan. His research focuses on legal geography, legal history, law and society and land regimes in settler societies and in Israel. He served as the President of the Israeli Law and Society Association, is the co-coordinator of the Legal Geography CRN of the Law and Society Association and a member of its international committee. He is the co- founder (in 2003) and director of the Association for Distributive Justice, an Israeli NGO addressing these issues.

Lecture: The Right to a Fair Trial in International Law: Shining a light on a critical human rights protection, Prof. Philippa Webb (King’s College London), Lauterpacht Centre for International Law, Finley Library, 23 October 2020, 13.00-14.30

Lecture Summary The right to a fair trial is a right that enables the recognition and protection of many other human rights. Its violation can be devastating to an individual defendant, but also damaging to entire societies as unfair trials are used to undermine democracy and oppress minorities. Although the right to a fair trial has been included in all international and regional human rights instruments since the Second World War and 173 states parties to the ICCPR have pledged to uphold it, the international standard for a fair trial can be elusive. Based on my book with Amal Clooney, The Right to a Fair Trial in International Law (OUP, Summer 2020), I will shine a light on certain aspects of this fundamental human right. We have attempted to explain, in granular detail, the meaning of the right to a fair trial, drawing on how the right has been applied by international bodies including United Nations committees, regional human rights courts and commissions, and international criminal courts. I will discuss the status of the right in international law, consider who enjoys the right apart from the defendant, and examine divergences in the case law on certain components of the right and potential methods of harmonisation.

Philippa Webb Philippa Webb is Professor of Public International Law at King's College London. She specialises in international dispute settlement, human rights, the immunities of states, international organisations and diplomats, and the law of treaties. Prior to joining King’s, Philippa held positions in the Presidency of the International Court of Justice, the Office of the Prosecutor at the International Criminal Court, and United Nations Headquarters. She is on the boards of the European Society of International Law, the Leiden Journal of International Law and the Journal of International Criminal Justice. Her publications include The Right to a Fair Trial in International Law (with Amal Clooney, OUP, Summer 2020), Oppenheim's International Law: United Nations (with Dame Rosalyn Higgins GBE QC, Dapo Akande, Sandy Sivamuaran and James Sloan, OUP 2017), and The Law of State Immunity (with Lady Hazel Fox QC, OUP 2015).

Lecture: Implementing the 1954 Hague Convention: Conflicts between People and Heritage, Prof. Dr. Helen Frowe (University of Stockholm), Lauterpacht Centre for International Law, Finley Library, 6 November 2020, 13.00-14.30

Lecture Summary In 2017, the British Government ratified the 1954 Hague Convention on the Protection of Cultural Property in Times of Armed Conflict (henceforth, the Hague Convention). This Convention, along with its two Additional Protocols, sets out the obligations of states with respect to cultural heritage in war. War throws up a range of conflicts between protecting people and protecting heritage, in terms of both the use of resources, and the imposition and incurring of risk. And yet, from UNESCO to the Blue Shield, those working in heritage insist that such conflicts between people and heritage are impossible. For example, Irina Bokova, the former director-general of UNESCO, claims that, “there is no need to choose between saving lives and preserving cultural heritage: the two are inseparable.” In this talk, I argue that the failure to recognise these conflicts comprehensively undermines the heritage community’s response to the legal demands made by the Hague Convention. If we refuse to acknowledge that these conflicts can even in principle arise, we are ill-equipped to deal with them. Given that the Hague Convention requires combatants to deal with them, this is a pressing problem.

Helen Frowe Helen Frowe is Professor of Practical Philosophy and Wallenberg Academy Research Fellow in the Department of Philosophy at Stockholm University, where she directs the Stockholm Centre for the Ethics of War and Peace.

Lecture: The State Theory of Grotius, Prof. Dr. Nehal Bhuta (University of Edinburgh), Lauterpacht Centre for International Law, Finley Library, 13 November 2020, 13.00-14.30

Lecture Summary Grotius is not generally considered a state theorist, but a theorist and jurist of natural law. But his accounts of natural right, sociability and sovereign power – all building blocks of his carapace of a natural legal order – generate also an exoskeleton of political order that leans upon but is not reducible to the legal order of natural law. As such, Grotius's juristic sensibility and his Roman legal methods, generate not so much a political theory of the state as a set of generative parameters for the conceptualization of the state in which the concrete constitution of state authority is historical and plural, even as it is integrated into a universal legal order. State authority is made possible and accountable under a system of natural legal right, even as its constitution is a historical achievement that should not readily be disturbed and in which a large range of freedom and unfreedom is lawful and should be accepted. Grotius theory of the state holds important lessons and implications for our contemporary world, where over the last 25 years we have grappled constantly with the problem of what a state is, the circumstances under which we might justifiably breach its sovereignty, and the profound difficulties of re-making state orders when they have failed, collapsed or been destroyed by foreign intervention.

Nehal Bhuta Professor Nehal Bhuta holds the Chair of Public International Law at University of Edinburgh and is Co-Director of the Edinburgh Centre for International and Global Law. He previously held the Chair of Public International Law at the European University Institute in Florence, where was also Co-Director of the Institute's Academy of European Law. He is a member of the editorial boards of the European Journal of International Law, the Journal of International Criminal Justice, Constellations and a founding editor of the interdisciplinary journal Humanity. He is also a series editor of the Oxford University Press (OUP) series in The History and Theory of International Law. Prior to the EUI he was on the faculty at the New School for Social Research, and at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law.

Conference: Genocide, Gendercide, and Resistance Conference 2020 - What Do We Need in Order to Construct a Useful Concept of “Gendercide”?, postponed to autumn/winter 2020 (registration open)

On the Theme of the Conference Today, girls and women are exposed to lethal violence across the world just because they are female. According to a resolution in the European Parliament (2013), recent estimates of the sex ratio display an increase in the number of “missing” women from the world’s population to roughly 200 million. During 1990 the same number was approximately 100 million. Moreover, lethal violence due to different gender-roles is not restricted to women, but includes, inter alia, the targeting of battle-aged men.

Departing from the above, this conference aims to actualize and discuss the notion of “gendercide”, which refers to the deliberate killing of people belonging to one sex, by reason of their sex. In particular, the conference seeks to probe which methodological underpinnings that must be adopted in order to construct a useful concept that can illuminate, as well as mobilize against, gendered lethal violence. The conference sets out to examine the genocide-gendercide connection from a multitude of perspectives and angles. Questions that may be raised are, for instance, how do we conceptualize gender as a vector of group identity in cases of sex-selective mass killings? Is there a potential to disrupt the violent repetitions of sex-selective mass killings via the concept of gendercide? These questions will be addressed from a global and a local perspective, taking into account both substantive international law, broader state policies and theoretical perspectives.

Confirmed speakers include:

 Professor Adam Jones (University of British Columbia);  Professor Naila Kabeer (London School of Economics and Political Science);  Justice Madan Lokur (Former Judge at the Supreme Court of India);  Associate Professor Christine Schwöbel-Patel (University of Warwick);  Professor Monica Das Gupta (Maryland Population Research Centre);  Rita Banerji (founder of the 50 Million Missing Campaign);  Representatives from the Indian civil-society organization Empower People.

About the Conference The Genocide, Gendercide, and Resistance Conference 2020 will be organized at Gothenburg University. We intend to bring together scholars, researchers and practitioners from across the world to elaborate and move on with the research that delves deeper into possible ways to create social change in regard to, and delimit, the gendered lethal violence en masse. In this regard, the conference will address a gap within the current research of genocide- gendercide by actualizing and discussing the notion of “gendercide” from perspectives that has up until now received little attention.

The Conference is Postponed

As we are sure everyone knows, the challenges presented by the growing COVID-19 health crisis impacts the ability to hold a large conference for the foreseeable future. As a result, we feel compelled to make the difficult decision to postpone the conference until later this year. It is with heavy hearts that we make this announcement, and we are very interested in keeping you all as speakers for the coming conference as soon as it is possible.

This is a decision that none of us in the leadership wanted to make. But after evaluating the recent developments and listening to input from other colleagues, we strongly believe that this is the best option for us at this time.

We have every intention to hold the conference at a later point, hopefully during the coming autumn/winter.

Experts on the Linkages between Human Rights and Environment, Climate Change and Sustainable Development, Raoul Walenberg Institute, Jakarta (open until filled)

The Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law (RWI) is an independent academic institution established in 1984 with a mission to contribute to a wider understanding of, and respect for, human rights and international humanitarian law. Since 1990, RWI has carried out a wide range of research, academic education, and institutional capacity development programmes internationally in the human rights field. RWI’s global thematic foci are economic globalisation, inclusive societies, people on the move and fair and efficient justice (www.rwi.lu.se).

Introduction RWI’s office in Jakarta coordinates the institute’s regional programmes and activities in the Asia Pacific region. RWI has been active in different countries across Asia since the 1990s and has coordinated regional programmes since 2007. Our regional focus has been to strengthen the capacities of NHRIs and academic institutions to be actors of change for human rights implementation and their promotion across the region.

In 2017, the Jakarta office commenced a five-year regional programme focusing on the linkages between human rights and environment, climate change and sustainable development. The programme supports research, synergies between sectors and RWI’s thematic foci. The programme is implemented with a range of regional partners, including relevant UN Agencies, human rights stakeholders and community-based organisations. The programme is supported by the Swedish Development Cooperation.

Directory At times RWI needs to bring in experts to work on short or long term assignments. Examples of assignments include contributing expertise in the design and delivery of workshops, supervising or carrying out action-oriented research or supporting development of concepts and strategies. RWI is therefore establishing an Experts Directory to support its Regional Asia Pacific Programme (RAPP).

The Directory will serve as an intermediate between consultants interested in working on RWI consultancy assignments in the region, and RWI’s office in Jakarta.

Please note that filing an Expression of Interest does not imply an active hiring process. The Directory will solely assist RWI’s office in Jakarta in their search for relevant expertise that is needed to implement RAPP and other programmes managed by the office.

Profile Qualifications vary and depend on specific requirements for the assignment. Both practitioners and academics are encouraged to submit their Expression of Interest. In general, consultants should possess advanced degrees and have significant experience in any of the areas listed below. Fluency in English is typically required.

Consultants who are from and living in the Asia Pacific region will be prioritized and are encouraged to submit their expression of interest.

We are currently interested in expertise in the following areas:

Call for Organizers, Arbeitskreis junger Völkerrechtswissenschaftler*innen & Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationales Recht (ohne Bewerbungsfrist)

Für eine weitere gemeinsame Tagung des Arbeitskreises junger Völkerrechtswissenschaftler*innen (AjV) und der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Internationales Recht (DGIR) wird ein Organisationsteam aus Nachwuchswissenschaftler*innen gesucht. Die

AjV-DGIR-Tagung ist die einzige wiederkehrende Tagung zum Internationalen Recht im deutschsprachigen Raum, die sich explizit einem Austausch zwischen Nachwuchswissenschaftler*innen und etablierten Wissenschaftler*innen verschrieben hat. Bisherige Tagungen fanden u. a. in Düsseldorf, Graz, Göttingen, Bochum und Berlin statt. Informationen zur letzten Tagung finden sich hier: www.jura.fu-berlin.de/ajv2019.

Die nächste AjV-DGIR-Tagung könnte schon im Herbst 2021 stattfinden. Ort und Zeit stehen aber zur Disposition der künftigen Organisator*innen. Die DGIR unterstützt die Ausrichtung voraussichtlich wieder finanziell. Der Völkerrechtsblog begleitet die Tagung voraussichtlich wieder online.

Wer (unverbindlich) Interesse oder Fragen hat, meldet sich einfach (einzeln oder auch mit mehreren zusammen) bei den Organisator*innen der letzten Tagung ([email protected] berlin.de). Diese würden natürlich auch mit Rat und Erfahrungsberichten bei der Organisation zur Seite stehen.

Der AjV versammelt Doktorand*innen, Postdoktorand*innen und andere Interessierte aus den Bereichen der Rechtswissenschaft, der Politikwissenschaft und der Internationalen Beziehungen, die ein Interesse an völkerrechtlichen Fragestellungen eint. Ziel des AjV ist die berufliche Vernetzung und der fachliche Austausch. Der AjV organisiert u. a. Workshops und Konferenzen. Es handelt sich um einen informellen Zusammenschluss. Jeder und Jede, die sich in der Beschreibung wiederfindet, kann partizipieren.

Rosalyn Higgins Prize, The Law & Practice of International Courts and Tribunals (deadline: 30 June 2020)

The Rosalyn Higgins Prize is an annual prize which awards EUR 1.000 of Brill book vouchers and a one-year LPICT subscription to the author of the best article on the law and practice of the International Court of Justice, either focusing solely on the ICJ or with the ICJ as one of the dispute settlement mechanisms under consideration. The winning article will also be published in LPICT and made freely available online for ninety days to maximize its dissemination.

Competition for the Prize is open to all: scholars as well as practitioners, junior as well as senior professionals. Submissions will be selected via a double-blind peer review process by a Prize Committee, including both co-Editors-in-Chief. Exceptionally, two papers of an equally high standard can be selected. The Committee is also able to choose not to award the Prize if in its opinion none of the submitted papers reaches the required standards. Submissions should be between 6.500 and 8.000 words in length, not yet published or under review elsewhere. Other submission requirements are the same as for regular LPICT submissions. Instructions available here: https://brill.com/fileasset/downloads_products/Author_Instructions/LAPE.pdf

All papers for consideration of the Prize should be sent directly to Freya Baetens ([email protected]) and Régis Bismuth ([email protected]), LPICT Co- Editors-in-Chief (with “LPICT Rosalyn Higgins Prize” as email subject).

The prizewinner(s) will be announced in September 2020.
