Upon learning of the death of Judge LI, the late President of the ICTY, Judge Antonio Cassese, expressed his 'deep sorrow at the loss of a wonderful colleague whose contribution to the work of the Tribunal, and more specifically of the Appeals Chamber, has been invaluable. Judge Li was an extremely wise and perceptive Judge as well as a scholar with an unparalleled experience of international law. Judge Li was a kind and gentle person, respected by his colleagues for his enlightening views and admired for his strong belief in the cause of justice'. Former ICJ and ICTY Judge, Mohamed Shahabuddeen, stated: 'Judge Li brought a whole lifetime of experience, knowledge and wisdom to the work of the Tribunal. It was instructive to listen to him and to hear his opinions. Like so many others, I have learnt much from him. ... I shall retain the memory of a wonderful human being'. ZHU Manli, Chinese Ambassador to the Netherlands, highlighted how LI Haopei's 'academic accomplishment, dedication and high moral integrity won [him] high admiration', mentioning how '[h]is wisdom and tenacity was widely applauded': 'H.E. Judge Li Haopei will 1 Oct 2021 Page 1 of 2 always live in our fond memory'.

  • Quality Control in International Fact-Finding Outside Criminal Justice for Core International Crimes
    130522 Quality Control in International Fact-Finding Outside Criminal Justice for Core International Crimes The 2013 LI Haopei Lecture and Seminar A seminar organized by the Forum for International Criminal and Humanitarian Law, the European University Institute, and Peking University International Law Institute, on 20 May 2013, 09:00-18:00, at The Refectory, Badia Fiesolana, European University Institute, Florence. There are academic efforts under way to map, and analyse best practices of, the plethora of in- ternational fact-finding1 commissions and other mandates2 to look into allegations of serious violations of international criminal, humanitarian or human rights law. There have been signifi- cant developments in international practice in this area since the Commission of Experts for the former Yugoslavia established pursuant to United Nations Security Council resolution 780 (1992), an institution which served as a catalyst for later developments. The FICHL supports these academic efforts, and it seeks, together with the European University Institute and Peking University International Law Institute, to supplement them by focusing the 2013 LI Haopei Seminar on the specific topic of ‘Quality Control in International Fact-Finding Outside Criminal Justice for Core International Crimes’.3 To serve the interests of professionalization, how can the quality of international fact- finding, -analysis and -reporting be improved? How should the significant developments in fact- work in international criminal jurisdictions since the mid-1990s

  • A Tribute to Professor Wang Tieya
    A Tribute to Professor Wang Tieya Sienho Yee Professor Wang Tieya and I were several generations apart. Yet we had something in common. We were co-editors for two projects: a book in honor of Li Haopei,1 a dear friend of his and a kind supervisor of mine, and the Chinese Journal of International Law. To some extent we were both rebels. We both had done things that might be perceived to go against common wisdom. Despite the fact that he had been such an eminent scholar when I, a fun-loving undergraduate at Peking University, was introduced to him, Professor Wang displayed no air of importance or stature that normally one might see in a person on Olympic heights. Soon we developed a friendship that in Chinese would be called “Wangnianzhijiao”, friendship defying the gap of age. We shared stories. We exchanged arguments. He critiqued my works. He appreciated a good argument when he saw one. He criticized a questionable one when he found it. He gave credit where it was due. I benefited greatly from his wisdom. Then in 1998, it was suggested that Professor Wang and I co-edit the memorial collection for Li Haopei. Professor Wang immediately accepted the task, despite the fact that I was still a very young man then, although older than I was when I was introduced to him.2 That project was completed in 2000 and the book was published in 2001. In the course of editing that book, some of the disputes between some authors and me were put to him for final decision.

  • Is It Possible to Prevent Or Punish Future Aggressive War-Making?
    Is it Possible to Prevent or Punish Future Aggressive War‐making? Address by Judge Dr. jur. h. c. Hans‐Peter Kaul Second Vice‐President of the International Criminal Court At the Li Haopei Lecture Series “Implications of the Criminalization of Aggression” 8 February 2011 Forum for International Criminal and Humanitarian Law Oslo, Norway Check against delivery – embargoed until 8 February 2011, at 14h00. Let me begin with a question, a question of some importance. Is it the natural right, the inherent right of States to make war? Is war-making a national right? When we look at the reality of today’s world, it seems quite obvious that certain States, powerful States, continue to reserve for them, openly or more discreetly, also as some kind of hidden agenda, the option to go to war for their interests. The question, however, is crucial: Is it the natural, the inherent right of States or governments to use military force against other States when they believe it is in their interest? This is the fundamental question which is at the centre of today’s lecture. As some may know, on 11 June 2010, something surprising, something unexpected happened: against all odds, against most expectations, the Review Conference of the International Criminal Court (ICC) held in Kampala, Uganda adopted a full and complete package proposal on the crime of aggression. The amendments to the Rome Statute contain a definition of the crime of aggression and set out the conditions under which the Court will have, from 2017 onwards, jurisdiction with regard to this crime.

  • Republican Judicial Modernization and Its Legacies to the People's Republic of China
    An Irresistible Inheritance: Republican Judicial Modernization and Its Legacies to the People’s Republic of China Glenn Tiffert, University of California, Berkeley Abstract Commentators have long treated the Republican and People’s Republic of China (PRC) judicial systems in nearly hermetic isolation from each other. Yet it is impossible to grasp fully the history of the PRC judicial system independent of its Republican heritage, and to decouple the two is therefore to foreclose critical avenues of understanding. As a step toward repairing that rupture, this paper specifies the configurations and distributions of courts, as well as the discourses of judicial malaise and reform that the Republican period deposited on the doorstep of the PRC. It establishes the necessary empirical foundation from which to appreciate the institutional deficits and imbalances, developmental dilemmas, and normative discourses that confronted Chinese Communist Party (CCP) judicial planners in 1949, and it equips the reader to understand the planners’ responses—not just through the lens of ideology but also as reasoned reactions to concrete, practical problems. Additionally, this paper suggests that memory of the Republican judicial system served as a repository of value from which to shape, assess, and comprehend law’s fate in the PRC. Keywords: Republican China, Chinese judicial system About the 1949 Chinese Revolution, the eminent PRC legal reformer and scholar Cai Dingjian1 once observed that if we had overthrown the old legal order generally, yet embraced the attitude that law could be inherited; if we had not criticized or scorned it all; if we had concretely analyzed specific laws, brought forward a series of legal concepts— such as justice, equality, impartiality, the authority of law, respect for law, honesty, keeping one’s word, and so on—and inherited concrete rules and procedures for resolving conflicts, then the construction of New China’s legal system would not have had such a low starting point, and perhaps would not have met such misfortune.

  • Charting Socio-Legal Approaches to International Law in China: Taking the Interdisciplinary Study of International Law and History As an Example
    E-ISSN 2281-4612 Academic Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies Vol 9 No 1 January 2020 ISSN 2281-3993 www.richtmann.org . Research Article © 2020 Shisong Jiang. This is an open access article licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/) Charting Socio-Legal Approaches to International Law in China: Taking the Interdisciplinary Study of International Law and History as an Example Shisong Jiang Institute of Law, Politics and Development, Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, Italy; Faculty of Law, University of Antwerp, Belgium Doi: 10.36941/ajis-2020-0001 Abstract The mainstream of international legal academia has started to address a distinctive fundamental question of whether international law is international in recent years, in which national differences in terms of the understandings of and approaches to international law have been (re)recognized and accentuated. Thanks to its increasing importance and influence in the international community, the ways in which China engages with a variety of international legal issues and topics have garnered more attention from the so-called western scholars. Meanwhile, Chinese international legal scholars have also committed to establishing a Chinese school of international law through which to intensively and comprehensively showcase its own characteristics in this regard. Against this backdrop, this article aims to unveil the underestimated part of its characteristics concerning the socio-legal scholarship in China’s international law research by taking the interdisciplinary study of international law and history as an example. To that end, this article first reviews the overall configuration of international law research in China and roughly summarizes the current “Chinese characteristics” as follows: 1.

  • Morten Bergsmo and Ling Yan (Eds). State Sovereignty and International Criminal Law
    Book Reviews 625 Morten Bergsmo and Ling Yan (eds). State Sovereignty and International Criminal Law. Beijing: Torkel Opsahl Academic EPublisher, 2012. Pp. 281. £15. ISBN: 9788293081357. State Sovereignty and International Criminal Law, edited by Morten Bergsmo and Ling Yan, brings together two recent issues of international law: the rise of international criminal law as a building block in the nascent constitution of the international legal order and the increasingly active par- ticipation of China in international law. Even though China is a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), it has until recently been de facto absent from the debates over norms of international law. Likewise, international criminal justice is a field of law that stagnated for more than 40 years. The last two decades have witnessed a revival of both phoenixes. This anthology, prepared in the context of the Li Haopei Lecture Series of the Forum for Downloaded from International Criminal Law, offers the view of Chinese and European international lawyers, scholars and judges on three issues: immunity of state officials from foreign prosecution for international crimes; universal jurisdiction and the newly adopted amendment to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (Rome Statute) on the crime of aggression.1 These three issues are highly topical. http://ejil.oxfordjournals.org/ In the third and perhaps pivotal chapter, Zhou Lulu, director of the Treaty Division of the Department of Treaty and Law, Ministry Foreign Affairs of China, gives a brief analysis of a few controversial issues in contemporary international criminal law. All of the controversial issues addressed in this article, including aggression, universal jurisdiction and immunity, are dis- cussed by the other contributors to the book – some agreeing and some disagreeing with Zhou.
