E. Herlin Karnell copromotor: dr. G. Gordon 1 Acknowledgements ______________________________________________ Having the opportunity to pursue a PhD is an incredible luxury, for which alone one ought to be inordinately thankful. But to be able to write it under the conscientious guidance of the scholar who inspired it, and who in turn introduced me to yet other inspiring scholars, is to be blessed indeed. And so, my first debt of gratitude is owed to Ester Herlin Karnell. The next is owed to Geoffrey Gordon, my second reader, who stuck with me despite having no obligation to do so. His commentary, which was as helpful as it was incisive, vastly improved both my text and my thoughts. I was financially able to pursue a PhD as an external candidate because of my position as a research fellow at the Max Planck Institute Luxembourg for Procedural Law. As a co-director of the institute, as well as my departmental head, Hélène Ruiz Fabri has created a setting for doctoral students that is highly supportive, stimulating in terms of the broad set of ideas and subjects explored, as well as free of certain crucial concentrations of power that are a feature of sadly too many doctoral programs. I am therefore immensely grateful to her, to the Max Planck, as well as to my colleagues, who have been providing me both encouragement and entertainment for more than three years now. I would also like to thank Eyal Benvenisti, without whom this thesis would not have been possible. The seven months I spent in Tel Aviv at his invitation and with the support of the GlobalTrust Research Project were unforgettable for many, many reasons. It would not be too much of an exaggeration to say that this thesis really first took shape there. As such, I would like to thank the Buchmann Faculty of Law, Tel Aviv University, as well as my fellow participants on the ‘Sovereigns as Trustees of Humanity’ seminar. I would also like to thank the scholars I have pestered and persecuted for draft papers, comments and insights, as well as those unfortunates who read my drafts at conferences and workshops. I would have liked to mention you individually, but there are rather too many of you. Finally, there are my parents Latha and Ratnam, my brother Bharath, and my grandmothers Saraswati and Padma. These I could never thank enough, even if I were to devote several lifetimes to the task. 2 Table of Contents _____________________________________________________________________________________ Table of Cases .................................................................................................................................. i Table of International Treaties and Instruments ........................................................................... xv Table of Legislation and Official Documents .............................................................................. xix Abbreviations ............................................................................................................................. xxiii Chapter I - Introduction .................................................. ............................................................. 1 I.

  • Conversations with Professor Stroud Francis Charles (Toby) Milsom by Lesley Dingle and Daniel Bates Third Interview
    Conversations with Professor Stroud Francis Charles (Toby) Milsom by Lesley Dingle1 and Daniel Bates2 Third Interview: Cambridge - 1976 to present Date: 20th November 2009 Between October and December 2009, Professor Milsom was interviewed four times at his home in Newnham to record his reminiscences of over sixty years of an illustrious academic career, the majority of which was spent in the Faculty of Law at Cambridge. The interviews were recorded, and the audio version is available on this website with this transcript of those recordings. The questions and topics are sequentially numbered in the three interviews for use in a database of citations made across the Eminent Scholars Archive to personalities mentioned therein. Interviewer: Lesley Dingle, her questions and topics are in bold type Professor Milsom’s answers are in normal type. Comments added by LD, in italics. All footnotes added by LD. 136. Professor Milsom, last time we covered your career from your time at New College Oxford, and when you were Professor of Legal History at the London School of Economics. That brought us to 1976 and now perhaps in this third interview we can deal with the time when you were Professor of Law at Cambridge from 1976 to 1990 and then we can deal with your activities when you retired. So you returned formally to Cambridge, after a 21 year absence, in 1976; can you recall the circumstances of this last major move in your academic career? The Chair was advertised. I didn’t apply because of the circumstances of my leaving twenty-one years earlier, so I wouldn’t have applied, but they actually approached me.

  • Conversations with Professor Philip James Allott by Lesley Dingle1 and Daniel Bates2
    Conversations with Professor Philip James Allott by Lesley Dingle1 and Daniel Bates2 First Interview: Early Years (1937-1963) Date: 18 February 2011 Between February and April 2011, Professor Allott was interviewed five times at his room off stairway F at Trinity College to record his reminiscences of almost sixty years of a varied career which was spent initially in various capacities at the FCO, and in later years in the Faculty of Law at Cambridge. The interviews were recorded, and the audio version is available on this website with this transcript of those recordings. The questions and topics are sequentially numbered in the three interviews for use in a database of citations made across the Eminent Scholars Archive to personalities mentioned therein. Interviewer: Lesley Dingle, her questions and topics are in bold type Professor Allott’s answers are in normal type. Comments added by LD, in italics. All footnotes added by LD. 1. Professor Allott it’s a great pleasure to interview you for the Eminent Scholars Archive. Your scholastic reputation is grounded on dual foundations, what we might call an early apprenticeship as a legal advisor in the Civil Service at the Foreign & Commonwealth Office and later as a prominent academic here in Cambridge. During these interviews for the archive, could we talk initially about the highlights of your life and career and then come later to a general discussion or your scholarly work. I’m sure there’ll be many listeners very eager to hear more of your radical visions for the future of international law and its role in shaping human society.

  • Mapping the 'Invisible College of International Lawyers
    MAPPING THE ‘INVISIBLE COLLEGE OF INTERNATIONAL LAWYERS’ THROUGH OBITUARIES Leiden Journal of International Law (Forthcoming) Luíza Leão Soares Pereira School of Law, University of Sheffield Niccolò Ridi School of Law and Social Justice, University of Liverpool Abstract Since Oscar Schachter’s famous articulation of the concept, scholars have attempted to know more about the composition and functioning of the ‘invisible college of international lawyers’ which makes up our profession. They have done this though surveying public rosters of certain sections of the profession (arbitrators, International Court of Justice counsel), providing general anecdotal accounts about informal connections between members, or establishing certain individuals’ influence in the development of discrete legal concepts. Departing from these approaches, we use the obituaries published in the British Yearbook of International Law (1920-2017) to draw a map of the ‘invisible college of international lawyers’. Obituaries are a unique window into international law’s otherwise private inner life, unveiling professional connections between international lawyers and their shared career paths beyond a single academic or judicial institution. Employing network analysis, a method commonly used in social sciences to describe complex social phenomena such as this, we are able to demonstrate the ubiquity of informal networks whereby ideas move, and provide evidence of the community’s homogeneity. Exploring the connections between international lawyers and their shared characteristics in this novel way, we shed light on the features of the community and the impact individual personalities have on the law. These characteristics of the profession and its members may be obvious to insiders, but are seldom acknowledged. Graphic representation is a powerful tool in bolstering critiques for diversity and contestation of mainstream law-making narratives.

In spite of my shortcomings, he has always been a calm, gentle and wise guide, incentivizing me to pursue my interests, to keep my curiosity alive and to enjoy life. I also express my gratitude to all of the members of the examination board, Professors Marcus Faro, Inez Lopes, João Roriz and Paula Almeida, who have promptly answered my invitation and who have, on very short notice, examined my writing. I would like to thank my work colleagues, who have helped me during the final months of writing.
