I would like to express my sincere thanks to those who took the time out of their busy schedules to write the tributes that follow. *** Elihu (known to all as Eli) was born in London in 1928, the only child of Rachel (née Steinberg) and Hersch Lauterpacht, Jewish immigrants from central and Eastern Europe. Despite his foreign origins, Hersch was to become, not only Whewell Professor of International Law at Cambridge University and a knight of the realm, but one of the leading international lawyers of his generation, and certainly one of the most imaginative and most admired. -

Elihu Lauterpacht, LCIL and the Lauterpacht Tradition James
Elihu Lauterpacht, LCIL and the Lauterpacht Tradition James Crawford AC* My focus here is Eli’s relation to what is still thought of as the Lauterpacht tradition of thinking about and doing international law, a tradition largely identified with his father, Hersch Lauterpacht, scholar and judge – but which Eli contributed to perpetuating and consolidating.1 Precisely because Hersch’s contribution is even now so well-known, nearly 60 years after his death, it seems appropriate to focus first on Eli’s own, distinct, career. This one can in part recall by listing the various things he started or continued and which are in many cases now institutions, which embody new ideas or which at least evoke strong memories. This account is of course merely indicative. First there was judging and arbitrating. He was once appointed an ad hoc judge in a case before the International Court, in the early stages of Bosnian Genocide. His separate opinion in that case (in some respects a dissenting opinion) is notable for its analysis of the role of the ad hoc judge. He said… consistently with the duty of impartiality by which the ad hoc judge is bound, there is still something specific that distinguishes his role. He has, I believe, the special obligation to endeavour to ensure that, so far as is reasonable, every relevant argument in favour of the party that has appointed him has been fully appreciated in the course of collegial consideration and, ultimately, is reflected – though not necessarily accepted – in any separate or dissenting opinion…2 * © James Crawford, 2017. -
Conversations with Professor Sir Elihu Lauterpacht Postscript
Conversations with Professor Sir Elihu Lauterpacht Postscript Date: 30 May 2008 Between January and May 2008, Sir Elihu was interviewed seven times at his home in Herschel Road Cambridge to record his reminiscences of seventy years of his own, and his father’s associations with the Faculty. 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 six interviews for use in a database of citations made across the Eminent Scholars Archive to personalities mentioned therein. Interviewer: Lesley Dingle (questions and topics are in bold type) Sir Elihu’s answers are in normal type. Comments added by LD, in italics. All footnotes added by LD. 183. Sir Eli, you have told me of your concern at having failed to speak appreciatively of the many people who’ve helped you in your career. I wonder whether you would like to say something by way of a postscript to your interviews? Well, what I’m about to say is to be contrasted with the six interviews that we’ve already had. These interviews were all relatively extemporary, they weren’t specially prepared. I did not speak from a prepared script, but what I have to say now has been more carefully thought out. As I read over the transcript of the six preceding interviews, I was struck by the dominating focus of their attention to what I, myself, have done over the years. This was, perhaps, inescapable as the questions that I was asked were about me and the answers were, accordingly, limited. -
East Timor's Case in the ICJ: Will the Court Decide Whether
East Timor’s Case in the ICJ: Will the Court Decide Whether Spying Violates International Law? Ashley Deeks - Lawfare - 22 January 2014 http://www.lawfareblog.com/2014/01/east-timors-case-in-the-icj-will-the-court-decide-whether- spying-violates-international-law/#.UuA4w6XOhhA In December, East Timor initiated a case against Australia in the International Court of Justice. The facts are out of a Tom Clancy novel. In short, East Timor alleges that Australia bugged an East Timorese cabinet office during bilateral negotiations about an important maritime treaty (the 2002 Timor Sea Treaty) between the two countries, in order to gain intelligence about East Timorese strategy and negotiating positions. East Timor initiated arbitration against Australia, claiming that Australia’s alleged bugging during negotiations rendered the Timor Sea Treaty invalid. That arbitration is private (i.e., closed). That brings us to the ICJ case. East Timor further contends that on December 3, 2013, officers of the Australian Security Intelligence Organization, pursuant to a warrant issued by the Australian Attorney General, raided the office of East Timor’s Australian lawyer in Canberra and seized documents, a laptop, an iPhone, and a thumb drive. Some of those documents related to the pending arbitration. But news sources report that the raid also was an attempt to seize information that may have revealed information about the Australian bugging scheme, including statements by a former Australian intelligence officer disclosing Australian national security information to East Timor. For those interested, EJIL Talk has a useful post setting out additional factual details and background. East Timor’s filing for provisional measures in the ICJ “requests the Court to adjudge and declare . -

Development of a Neural Network Model for Dissolved Oxygen in Seawater
Indian Journal of Marine Sciences Vol. 38(2), June 2009, pp. 151-159 Development of a neural network model for dissolved oxygen in seawater Sundarambal Palani 1*, Shie-Yui Liong 1, Pavel Tkalich 1 and Jegathambal Palanichamy 2 1Tropical Marine Science Institute, National University of Singapore, Singapore, 119223 2Institute of Hydraulic Engineering and Water Resources Management, RWTH Aachen University, Germany, 52056. (e-mail: 1* [email protected]). Received 11 June 2008; revised 25 September 2008 Present paper consists the results from a study conducted to test the adequacy of artificial neural networks in modelling of dissolved oxygen (DO) in seawater. The input variables for ANN DO models are selected by statistical analysis. The ranking of important inputs and their mode of action on the output DO are obtained based on the expert’s opinion. The calibrated neural network models predict the DO concentration with satisfactory accuracy, producing high correlations between measured and predicted values (R2>0.8, MAE<1.25 mg/L for training and overfitting test) at specified location and time in the selected domain where there are training stations. It is shown that one can forecast the next week’s DO level from antecedent measurements with an acceptable confidence.

Valedictory Reference in Honour of Justice Chao Hick Tin 27 September 2017 Address by the Honourable the Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon
VALEDICTORY REFERENCE IN HONOUR OF JUSTICE CHAO HICK TIN 27 SEPTEMBER 2017 ADDRESS BY THE HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SUNDARESH MENON -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon Deputy Prime Minister Teo, Minister Shanmugam, Prof Jayakumar, Mr Attorney, Mr Vijayendran, Mr Hoong, Ladies and Gentlemen, 1. Welcome to this Valedictory Reference for Justice Chao Hick Tin. The Reference is a formal sitting of the full bench of the Supreme Court to mark an event of special significance. In Singapore, it is customarily done to welcome a new Chief Justice. For many years we have not observed the tradition of having a Reference to salute a colleague leaving the Bench. Indeed, the last such Reference I can recall was the one for Chief Justice Wee Chong Jin, which happened on this very day, the 27th day of September, exactly 27 years ago. In that sense, this is an unusual event and hence I thought I would begin the proceedings by saying something about why we thought it would be appropriate to convene a Reference on this occasion. The answer begins with the unique character of the man we have gathered to honour. 1 2. Much can and will be said about this in the course of the next hour or so, but I would like to narrate a story that took place a little over a year ago. It was on the occasion of the annual dinner between members of the Judiciary and the Forum of Senior Counsel. Mr Chelva Rajah SC was seated next to me and we were discussing the recently established Judicial College and its aspiration to provide, among other things, induction and continuing training for Judges.
