Asser Ins tuut Annual Report 2010: Forging ahead Foreword We are pleased to present the annual report 2010 for the T.M.C. Asser Ins tuut. This report covers the period January – December 2010. It provides a summary of the many ac vi es carried out and accomplishments achieved by members of the Ins tute. It describes our contribu on to academia, students, prac oners, policy makers, the legal community and others ac ve in the broad fi eld of interna onal law. This last year has been a tumultuous one globally. The knock on eff ect of the banking crisis and resultant recession provided the backdrop for our endeavours. 2010 was both a challenging and rewarding me. In keeping with our strategy and with a keen eye on developments in our opera ng environment, we have ini ated and responded to changes impac ng on our ac vi es. As an organisa on, we con nued to maintain the highest possible levels of research, consultancy and training support for our many clients and stakeholders. At the start of the year we set ourselves some clear objec ves. We are pleased to report that we have been successful in streamlining our research department into an effi cient and cohesive unit with a new Head of Research. Priority has been given to pu ng in place the mechanisms to operate balanced and fl exible inter-university research pro- grammes resul ng in measurable success. CLEER has been awarded a second grant by the European Commission under its Jean Monnet Lifelong Learning Programme to support its ac vi es and the IHL/ICL and the Interna onal Sports Law interuniversity research programmes were formalised, ready for launch. New appointments to bolster our research capacity and output have been achieved and whilst we bade farewell to some long standing colleagues through re rement, we are confi dent that we will commence the year 2011 with a capable and energe c workforce. We are proud to have within our midst, two new Chairs, through the appointment of Robert Siekmann as Professor of Interna onal and European Sports Law at the Erasmus University, Ro erdam and Steven Blockmans, as Special Visi ng Professor at the Uni- versity of Leuven, Belgium. We con nued to contribute to interna onal capacity building, working with local and global partners to support Rule of Law. We demonstrated our effi ciency and exper se in delivering top quality seminars and conferences and we are proud to be awarded no less than three KNAW grants to ensure their delivery. Our excellent publica ons, training courses, public dialogues, and invita on-only gath- erings on a range of topics have contributed to building the exper se of the wider legal T.M.C. Asser Ins tuut Annual Report 2010: Forging ahead 5 community. 2010 Educa on and Training highlights included the provision of judicial training in The Hague as well as in South Sudan, Serbia and Croa a. As well as delivering on legal research and dissemina on, a number of important stra- tegic issues were advanced. We forged new rela onships and were instrumental in the establishment of contem- porary ini a ves such as the founding of the Interna onal Centre for Counter-Terrorism in The Hague with our fellow ins tutes – the Netherlands Ins tute of Interna onal Rela ons Clingendael and the Centre for Terrorism and Counterterrorism, Leiden Uni- versity. We nego ated an exci ng new distribu on deal for our T.M.C. Asser Press book pro- gramme with Springer Verlag. Work was completed on the renova on of the Ins tute’s library wing to provide con- temporary conference facili es and training space for the Ins tute. Having invested much me in contribu ng, with our (Hague Academic Coali on) part- ners in The Hague, to delinea ng the framework for the establishment of the Hague Ins tute for Global Jus ce, we are excited to see that this new organiza on will be launched in 2011. We believe that the T.M.C. Asser Ins tuut is successful through the good will and per- sonal contribu ons made by its members. Asser’s team of professionals is knowledge- able and fl exible in its approach. Ready for a challenge, quick with devising a solu on and steadfast in ensuring that promises are delivered. Rest to say, as this report demonstrates, we have had a successful year, a year fi lled with challenge, opportunity, and accomplishment. We would like to express our ap- precia on to the many other organisa ons that have collaborated with and supported us in 2010. We are proud to have fi nished the year with the Ins tute in be er shape, and for hav- ing played our part in shaping a profession that is fi t for the future. As we enter 2011, the centennial of the receipt of our namesake, Tobias Asser, of the Nobel Peace Prize, we are confi dent and op mis c that this year will indeed bring us success in our eff orts to forge ahead.

  • 2019 Annual Report
    H C H C Annual Report 2019 Hague Conference on Private International Law | Conférence de La Haye de droit international privé Annual Report 2019 Foreword In July 2019, the HCCH delivered on Asser’s foresight, delivering what I like to call a true “gamechanger”, by closing a significant gap in the tapestry of international instruments governing private cross-border interactions among people and businesses. The Judgments Convention is further evidence of the HCCH’s pre- eminence in developing innovative, global and consensus- based solutions in private international law. That the HCCH reached this point is to the merit of many and I thank all the experts, delegates and Chairs, who over many years banded together and, in a concerted and highly collaborative effort, crafted a strong framework that does Tobias Asser proud. I thank all my colleagues at the Permanent Bureau who, also for many years, tirelessly and with much ardour and dedication supported this process, culminating in the successful Diplomatic Session in June and July 2019 at which over 400 delegates finalised and adopted the Convention. I begin my Foreword to the 2019 Annual Report by looking back at the previous edition, the Special Edition 125, which So, 2019 clearly was another busy and fruitful year for the HCCH – commemorated the HCCH’s celebrations on the occasion of the but not only because of the Judgments Convention. The HCCH Organisation’s 125th Anniversary. It also recounted the HCCH’s also successfully advanced work on other topical issues, origins and the many achievements of the Organisation since its including the feasibility of establishing rules on international first Session in 1893.

    The Annual T.M.C. Asser Lecture on the development of international law A mission for our time Photo: Tobias Michael Carel Asser Introduction The Annual T.M.C. Asser lecture has been established in honour of the Dutch jurist and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Tobias Michael Carel Asser (Amsterdam, 28 April 1838 – The Hague, 29 July 1913), and his significant contributions to the development of public and private international law. It is the T.M.C. Asser Instituut’s flagship lecture and its date (2 December) commemorates the foundation of the Institute in December 1965. Mission Tobias Asser was a man with a vision. A man who kept his finger on the pulse of his time, and who managed to shape the legal developments during his days.1 In his Inaugural Address upon the acceptance of his professorship at the University of Amsterdam in 1862, Asser explained that it was his ‘vocation’ to reflect on commercial law and its ‘import’, while ‘taking into consideration the condition of society in [his] century’.2 What we learn from his lecture extends beyond the field 1 A Eyffinger, T.M.C.

    Gl3ii. Ciry of The Hague Departmenr of Inrernational Affairs International The Hague to the Intemational Organizations ond Institutions Welcome to International The Hague! The Hague's repute in the Netherlands is both welt-established and well-defined. To the Dutch the city stands, of old, fo the seat of government, parliament and the judiciary. By comparison, its role as an international centre is of far more recent date. Still, the ever-increasing number of international organizations, institutions and embassies being established in The Hague indicates that the city's status in the international sphere is, likewise, on the rise. The undersigned can but welcome this development, indeed take pride in steering and promoting the process. As wheels in the complex machinery which, spearheaded by City Executive and Municipal Council, directs the policy-making and day-to-day administration of our beloved city, we work hard to enhance its international quality and atmosphere. Together with interested parties in the private and public sectors alike we aspire to optimize working conditions and stimulate an altogether agreeable ambiance for the international community. In its modest way, the present guide may serve as a case in point to stress our policy. 'Unknown, unloved', as the adage reads. This Guide is just another token of the many endeavours on our part to help familiarize the reader with the fascinating tale of our city. And to acquaint them, if ever so briefly, with the literally hundreds of organs and institutions that operate from The Hague and jointly guarantee that daily gamut of scientific and diplomatic, social and artistic outpourings within our truly 'global village'.

Jamir Governor, Odisha Raj Bhawan Bhubaneswar-751 008 August 13, 2013 EMSSSEM I am glad to know that the School of Chemistry, Sambalpur University, like previous years is organizing a Seminar on "Nobel Prize" on August 24, 2013. The Nobel Prize instituted on the lines of its mentor and founder Alfred Nobel's last will to establish a series of prizes for those who confer the “greatest benefit on mankind’ is widely regarded as the most coveted international award given in recognition to excellent work done in the fields of Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, and Peace. The Prize since its introduction in 1901 has a very impressive list of winners and each of them has their own story of success. It is heartening that a seminar is being organized annually focusing on the Nobel Prize winning work of the Nobel laureates of that particular year. The initiative is indeed laudable as it will help teachers as well as students a lot in knowing more about the works of illustrious recipients and drawing inspiration to excel and work for the betterment of mankind. I am sure the proceeding to be brought out on the occasion will be highly enlightening.
