This course allows participants to learn about the origins and sources of the Laws of War and their practical application today. \nThe training gives participants the skills to distinguish between international and non-international armed conflicts. They will gain an understanding of the laws that protect civilians\, detainees\, the wounded and sick\, as well as the regulations pertaining to protected personnel\, such as medical staff. Participants will also learn when protected persons could potentially be deprived of protection. \nBy the end of the training\, participants will grasp the three key principles of IHL that regulate the conduct of hostilities: distinction\, proportionality\, and precaution. They will be able to illustrate how\, when properly applied\, these principles can limit the impact of armed conflict on civilian populations. \nWorkshop duration \nThe duration of the workshop is 1 hour. \n*Session delivered via Zoom. \nBackground \nKhalil Dewan is the Head of Legal Investigations at London-based law firm Stoke White\, and a doctoral candidate in Law at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS)\, University of London. He has delivered thematic advisory and training on international humanitarian law (IHL). Dewan regularly delivers guest lectures on the Laws of War\, Conflict and Security Law in the UK\, Europe and the Middle East. His work has been cited by the US Army War College Quarterly and the Oxford Research Group. \nAishah Help is running a series of FREE training workshops for charities and non-profits. These workshops are funded by The National Lottery & Platinum Jubilee Fund.

DESCRIPTION:Human Rights Standards of Marriage as Response to the Need to Nudge Capitalist Expansion in the Post-Colonies\n\n\nWhen: Wednesday\, 19 April at 3pm-5pm \nWhere: Room 313\, Third Floor\, School of Law\, Queen Mary University of London\, Mile End Road\, London E1 4NS (Via Westfield Way) \nFormat: In-person \n \nThe Centre for Law and Society in a Global Context’s Law and Marxism: Speaker Series is proud to host Nicole Stybnarova (University of Oxford) to deliver a talk on ‘Human Rights Standards of Marriage as Response to the Need to Nudge Capitalist Expansion in the Post-Colonies’. \n \nThe talk unfolds how Western standards for marriage\, resulting from a historically specific form of industrial capitalism\, developed into standards of international law due to the changing form of imperial relations. As ‘marriage standards’\, today considered to be human rights: minimum age\, freedom of matrimonial consent\, joint presence of spouses to the marriage ceremony; these are presently enforced by jurisdictions in the North-Atlantic and by supranational bodies (such as the EU or human rights’ IOs). The effects of these standards in migration- and private international law are then dominantly racialised\, depriving subjects from the post-colonies of rights and entitlements. The speaker links this biased effect of the ‘marriage standards’ to the colonial and economic relations at play during the process of the international legal standardization (the adoption of the UN Convention on Marriage). The presentation thus first provincializes and de-universalises the human rights’ marriage standards; second it discusses how colonial relations and their economic conditions continue to define the universalism of human rights. \nNicole Stybnarova is a lecturer in Jurisprudence\, International Law and Forced Migration in Refugee Studies Centre\, University of Oxford. She is currently a PhD Candidate at the Erik Castrén Institute\, University of Helsinki (PhD submission planned for spring 2023). Her research focuses on Migration Law\, Private and Public International Law and Critical Social Theory (in particular\, critiques of the empire\, feminism and Marxism).

Jones Lecture Theatre\, Ground Floor\, G.O. Jones Building\, Queen Mary University of London\, Mile End Road\, London E1 4NS \nFormat: In-person \n \nThe Centre for Law and Society in a Global Context’s 2023 Annual Lecture is delighted to invite Prof. Tshepo Madlingozi who will deliver a talk on ‘A Century after Pan-African Congress\, London: Pan-Africanism and the Making of Black Inter-national Constitution(s)’. \n \nAbstract \nThis lecture proposes that black inter-nationalism was an attempt at a decolonial constitution of a people and a world. A hundred years ago\, black internationalists gathered for the Third Pan-African Congress in London (and Lisbon). Pan-African Congresses enabled strategic collaborations of black actors across the divide of colony\, state\, nation\, and local cultures – hence black inter-nationalism. However\, there is a paradox and tension at the heart of their emancipatory horizon: calling for territorial sovereignty and statehood and at the same time prefiguring an internationalism that would subvert the nation-state. In this era of imperial nostalgia\, racist-patriarchal-xenophobic nationalisms\, and decoloniality-as-nativism\, this lecture revisits Pan-African Congresses to draw lessons for an insurgent and decolonial cosmopolitanism that could resist global racial-patriarchal capitalism. \nSpeaker Bio \nProfessor Tshepo Madlingozi is the Director of the Centre for Applied Legal Studies and an Associate Professor at the School of Law at the University of the Witwatersrand\, where he teaches on social justice and human rights. He is a Research Associate at the Chair for Critical Studies in Higher Education at Nelson Mandela University\, a Visiting Professor at the International Institute of Social Studies of Erasmus University Rotterdam\, and a Faculty Member of the Vienna Master of Arts in Applied Human Rights. Tshepo co-edits the South African Journal on Human Rights and sits on the boards of the Rural Democracy Trust\, Institute for Social Dialogue\, and Afrika Ikalafe Spiritual Health Institute. He is also a member of the Steering Committee of the African Coalition for Corporate Accountability (ACCA)\, and a member of the advisory board of Health Justice Initiative. For thirteen years (2015-2018) he worked with and for Khulumani Support Group\, a 120 000-strong social movement of victims and survivors of Apartheid as National Advocacy Coordinator and later the Chairperson.

The book is the first comprehensive historical analysis of unaccompanied child migration to the United States from 1930 to present day. The book argues that the US response to unaccompanied child migration has been consistently driven by a geopolitics of compassion that prioritises foreign policy and domestic political objectives over children’s best interests. \nThe event is co-sponsored by the (B)OrderS Centre for the Legal Study of Borders and Migration and the Childhood\, Law\, and Policy Network. \nAbout the speakers \nAnita Casavantes Bradford is Professor of History and Chicano/Latino Studies at the University of California Irvine. She is a scholar of immigration\, race and ethnicity\, foreign relations\, critical refugee studies\, and childhood. Among her publications are two books – Suffer the Little Children: Child Migration and the Geopolitics of Compassion in the United States (University of North Carolina\, 2022) and The Revolution is for the Children: The Politics of Childhood in Havana and Miami\, 1959–1962 (University of North Carolina Press\, 2014) – as well as numerous journal articles. \nFrancesca Meloni is Lecturer in Social Justice at King’s College London. Her research focuses on contemporary processes of migration and social exclusion. She is interested in the interface between migration\, policy\, race\, and age\, and in the impact of legal status on the experiences of belonging and access to social services. She has a background in anthropology and over 15 years of experience conducting ethnographic research in migration contexts in the UK\, Canada\, and Italy.

Assessing the Human Rights and Rule of Law... DESCRIPTION:…Challenges of the Deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Systems for Migration Management\n\n\nWhen: Wednesday\, 29th March at 1pm-5.45pm (GMT) \nWhere: Room 313\, Third Floor\, School of Law\, Queen Mary University of London\, Mile End Road\, London E1 4NS (Via Westfield Way) \nFormat: Hybrid \n \nThe (B)OrderS: Centre for the Legal Study of Borders and Migration and the Human Rights Law Centre at Queen Mary University of London invite you to the workshop ‘Towards Autonomous Borders? Assessing the Human Rights and Rule of Law Challenges of the Deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Systems for Migration Management’. \n \nIn recent years\, the exponential increase in computational power coupled with the availability of large quantities of data has heightened the burst in interest for Artificial Intelligence (AI). In the field of migration\, broadly including immigration\, asylum and border management\, AI has the potential to revolutionise the way states manage mobility\, decision-making and community integration. AI promises modernised identity checks and border controls\, as well as expedited and more efficient decision-making in relation to applications for visas\, residence permits or asylum applications. In immigration systems suffering from backlogs\, lengthy delays and uncertain outcomes\, the deployment of AI technology appears as a panacea for treating pathogenic practices and promoting neutrality\, objectivity and standardisation in decision-making\, thus decreasing or restricting cases of individuals subjected to discriminatory treatment. At the same time\, the increasing utilisation of AI applications seems to be heading towards the development of highly autonomous borders which can automatically pre-determine one’s right of entry or stay in the country based on their legal status\, sophisticated risk assessments and biometric analysis\, and limit human intervention to very few highly complex cases. This autonomy may also reinforce existing non-entreé policies and entails significant implications for the protection of human rights\, such as the right to respect for private life and protection of personal data\, non-discrimination and effective remedies. This workshop aims to critically evaluate these challenges stemming from AI applications in the field of migration management. \n \n\n\nProgramme \n13:00 – 13:15 \nWelcome and introduction to the workshopNiovi Vavoula (Queen Mary University of London) & Alexandra Karaiskou (European University Institute) \n \n13:15 – 14:45 \nPanel I \nThe Transformation of Borders in the Era of AI \nChair and discussant: Elspeth Guild\, Queen Mary University of London \nSpeakers:Petra Molnar (York University / Harvard University) \nTechnological Violence through High-Risk Experiments at the Border \nAmanda Musco Eklund (Umeå University)Operationalising Foreseeability in the Opaque Context of Automated Border Control and Risk Assessments \nDimitri Van Der Meerssche (Queen Mary University of London)Building the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS): Filtering Movement through the Computational Calculus of Risk \nNiovi Vavoula (Queen Mary University of London) Revisiting Informatisation of the Body in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Era: When the Foreigner Is the Border \n14:45 – 15:00 Coffee Break \n\n\n15:00 – 16:30 \nPanel II \nAI and the Future of Asylum Claims \nChair and discussant: Claudia Aradau\, King’s College London \nSpeakers: \nLudivine Stewart (European University Institute) Asylum Procedures and Data-driven Algorithms: Quo Vadis Due Process? \nFrancesca Palmiotto (Hertie School’s Centre for Fundamental Rights) Automated Decisions and Procedural Fairness: Seeking Standards for Asylum Seekers and Refugees \nMeltem Ineli Ciger (Suleyman Demirel University / European University Institute) AI in Resettlement Processes: A Discussion on Its Benefits\, Risks and Legal Consequences \nIsmini Mathioudaki (Scuola Normale Superiore) and Alexandra Karaiskou (European University Institute) Artificial Intelligence at the Border and Digital Refoulement \n \n16:30 – 16:45 \nConclusion \nNiovi Vavoula\, Queen Mary University of London & Alexandra Karaiskou (European University Institute) \n \n\n\nAbout the Speakers\n \nPetra Molnar is the Associate Director of the Refugee Law Lab at York University and a 2022-2023 Fellow at the Berkman Klein Centre for Internet & Society at Harvard University.\n \nAmanda Musco Eklund is a Doctoral student in EU border control and new technologies at Umeå University.\n \nDimitri van der Meerssche is a Lecturer in Law and Fellow at the Institute for Humanities and Social Sciences (IHSS) at Queen Mary University of London.\n \nLudivine Stewart is a Ph.D. researcher at the European University Institute (EUI) in Law\,\n \nFrancesca Palmiotto is a postdoctoral researcher at Hertie School’s Centre for Fundamental Rights working in the project “AFAR: Algorithmic Fairness for Asylum Seekers and Refugees” funded by the Volkswagen Foundation.\n \nMeltem Ineli Ciger is a Jean Monnet Fellow at the European University Institute and an Associate Professor at the Suleyman Demirel University\, Faculty of Law in Turkey.\n \nIsmini – Nikoleta Mathioudaki is a Ph.D. candidate at Scuola Normale Superiore\,\n \nAlexandra Karaiskou is a Ph.D. researcher at the European University Institute and a lawyer licensed to practice in Greece.\n \nNiovi Vavoula is Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Migration and Security at Queen Mary University of London.\n \n \n\n\nAbout (B)OrderS: Centre for the Legal Study of Borders and Migration\n \nFounded in 2022\, the (B)OrderS: Centre for the Legal Study of Borders and Migration focuses on the study of bordering\, ordering and othering processes through law.

To get our bearings we must return to first principles. This book articulates and defends a comprehensive\, coherent\, and compelling conception of the rule of law and defends it against serious challenges to its intelligibility\, relevance\, and normative force. The rule of law’s ambition\, it argues\, is to provide protection and recourse against the arbitrary exercise of power using the distinctive tools of the law. Law provides a bulwark of protection\, a bridle on the powerful\, and a bond constituting and holding together the polity and giving public expression to an ideal mode of association. Two principles immediately follow from this core: sovereignty of law\, demanding that those who exercise ruling power govern with law and that law governs them\, and equality in the eyes of the law\, demanding that law’s protection extend to all bound by it. Animating law’s rule\, the ethos of fidelity commits all members of the political community\, officials and lay members alike\, to take responsibility for holding each other accountable under the law. Part I articulates this conception and locates its moral foundation in a commitment to common membership of each person\, recognizing their freedom\, dignity\, and status as peers. Part II addresses serious challenges currently facing law’s rule: finding a place in the legal system for equity\, mercy\, and effective responses to emergencies\, taming the new leviathans of the digital world\, and extending law’s rule beyond national borders. \n **Please note joining details will be sent on the day URL:https://events.deadlawyers.org/e/symposium-on-gerald-postemas-laws-rule/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://events.deadlawyers.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/9b8877f1b45062887b1c660f487dfd9c.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Kyiv:20230314T183000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Kyiv:20230314T213000 DTSTAMP:20260923T152922 CREATED:20230117T200720Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240221T192603Z UID:634-1678818600-1678829400@events.deadlawyers.org SUMMARY:New Book Symposium on Julie Stone Peters’ Law as Performance DESCRIPTION:New Book Symposium on Julie Stone Peters’ Law as Performance\n\n\n When: Tuesday 14 March\, 4.30-7.30pm \nVenue: Room 313\, Third Floor\, School of Law building\, Mile End\, London E1 4NS (Via Westfield Way) \nFormat: In-person \nThe School of Law and the Institute for Humanities and Social Sciences are delighted to be hosting a new book symposium on Julie Stone Peters’ Law as Performance: \n\n\n\nTirades against legal theatrics are nearly as old as law itself\, and yet so is the age-old claim that law must not merely be done: it must be “seen to be done.” Law as Performance traces the history of legal performance and spectatorship through the early modern period. Viewing law as the product not merely of edicts or doctrines but of expressive action\, it investigates the performances that literally created law: in civic arenas\, courtrooms\, judges’ chambers\, marketplaces\, scaffolds\, and streets. It examines the legal codes\, learned treatises\, trial reports\, lawyers’ manuals\, execution narratives\, rhetoric books\, images (and more) that confronted these performances\, praising their virtues or denouncing their evils. In so doing\, it recovers a long\, rich\, and largely overlooked tradition of jurisprudential thought about law as a performance practice. This tradition not only generated an elaborate poetics and politics of legal performance. It provided western jurisprudence with a set of constitutive norms that\, in working to distinguish law from theatrics\, defined the very nature of law. In the crucial opposition between law and theatre\, law stood for cool deliberation\, by-the-book rules\, and sovereign discipline. Theatre stood for deceptive artifice\, entertainment\, histrionics\, melodrama. And yet legal performance\, even at its most theatrical\, also appeared fundamental to law’s realization: a central mechanism for shaping legal subjects\, key to persuasion\, essential to deterrence\, indispensable to law’s power\, —as it still does today. \nIn addition to being the H. Gordon Garbedian Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University\, Professor Peters is also one of the Law School’s Global Professorial Fellows. The event is organised by Professor Maks Del Mar. \n \nProgram: \n \n4.30pm-4.45pm: Introduction to the book by Professor Julie Stone Peters \nPanel I\, 4.45-6.00 \nChair: Professor Maks Del Mar \nProfessor Gwen Seabourne \nDr Tom Johnson \n6pm-6.15pm Break \n \nPanel II\, 6.15pm-7.30pm \nChair: Professor Miri Rubin \nDr Andrew Zurcher \nProfessor Willemijn Ruberg URL:https://events.deadlawyers.org/e/new-book-symposium-on-julie-stone-peters-law-as-performance/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://events.deadlawyers.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/b168621d1fd98266512128b6af1e103d.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20230314T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20230314T230000 DTSTAMP:20260923T152922 CREATED:20221105T133025Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240221T192542Z UID:621-1678816800-1678834800@events.deadlawyers.org SUMMARY:The Legal Cheek Awards 2023 DESCRIPTION:The Legal Cheek Awards 2023\n\n\nThe Legal Cheek Awards 2023 takes place in-person at The Banking Hall in the City of London on Tuesday 14 March 2023. \nThe event is sponsored by BARBRI and BPP University Law School.

Now in their 8th year\, the Annual Cotterrell Lectures in Sociological Jurisprudence are named in honour of our colleague Professor Roger Cotterrell.\n \n \n‘Sociological jurisprudence’ is understood broadly in the series\, as encompassing any theoretical aspect of socio-legal studies\, any serious effort to relate jurisprudence and legal theory to changing social and historical conditions\, or any topic linking law and social theory. \n \nAbstract \nPerformance as Lawmaking in the Age of Streaming Media\n \nLaw has always been a domain of performance\, forged in dramatic encounters between suspects and police\, defendants and judges\, prisoners and guards\, sovereigns and subjects. In our era\, such encounters have become ever-visible\, multiplying kaleidoscopically as they stream across our screens. In this lecture\, I will look closely at several paradigmatic scenes of legal performance—in courtrooms\, prisons\, and the streets—suggesting how they enact law dialogically while implicitly theorizing and interpreting it. I will argue that sociological jurisprudence cannot do without performance jurisprudence: jurisprudence that treats broad social forces as the product of specific expressive encounters in local space and time; that views law as viscerally experiential; that zooms in to examine how it actually unfolds in the moment; that recognizes the jurisprudential operations of performance itself\, —its interpretive and lawmaking power. Theorizing the legal “scene\,” its relationship to the streaming media it produces\, and its formation of the spectator as legal subject\, pondering the dilemmas of law-by-media\, I will consider how the performance encounter may both intervene in doctrine and exceed doctrinal capture\, acting in ways too heterogeneous and contradictory to be easily classified\, resonating subliminally toward an unknown future. \nAbout the Speaker \nProfessor Peters (BA Yale\, PhD Princeton\, JD Columbia) specializes in a number of fields that traverse traditional period divisions: law and humanities; drama\, theatre\, and performance; and film and comparative media. Her most recent book is Law as Performance: Theatricality\, Spectatorship\, and the Making of Law in Ancient\, Medieval\, and Early Modern Europe (Oxford University Press\, 2022).

Over the years\, the fault-lines have shifted from whether to incorporate a Bill of Rights to much deeper disagreement with respect to the people and the central power of the state. In this talk I will neither endorse the conservative case against a written constitution\, nor will I argue for the existing constitution to be codified. Instead\, I first assess the content of various proposals for a written constitution. I then problematize the process of constitution-making by asking not whether the UK constitution should be codified\, but by relating the constitution to the people as the authors and to the state as its object. \n \nAbout the Speaker \n \nDr Jo Murkens is a Professor of Law at the London School of Economics and Political Science. He studied English and European Law at QMUL.

As Director of the Department for Law and Anthropology at the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology (since 2012)\, she hopes to help change this situation. \nHaving been born in Belgium and spending most of her youth in that country\, Prof. Foblets soon became interested in plural societies and the conditions for sustainable peace among diverse groups. She was trained in law at the universities of Antwerp (1977-1979) and Leuven (1979-1982) in Belgium\, and also studied Thomist philosophy in parallel with law. Thanks to a study fellowship (1982-1983)\, she was given the opportunity to pursue further study in philosophy at the Wilhelms-Universität of Münster\, in Nordrhein-Westfalen\, Germany\, and to complete her studies in social and cultural anthropology (1985). \nUpon completion of her studies\, Prof. Foblets was called to the French-speaking section of the Brussels Bar. She spent a decade practising law with a firm that specialised in matters related to migration and minority issues. In the same period\, she defended her doctoral thesis in social and cultural anthropology\, which was inspired to a large extent by her legal practice. \nFor more than twenty years Prof. Foblets taught law as well as social and cultural anthropology in the universities of Antwerp and Brussels. Before becoming a member of the Max Planck Society in March 2012\, she was professeur ordinaire (full professor) at the Catholic University of Leuven\, where she headed the Institute for Migration Law and Legal Anthropology. She has also been a member of various networks of researchers focusing either on the study of the application of Islamic law in Europe or on law and migration in Europe\, including the Association française d’anthropologie du droit (AFAD)\, of which she served as co-president for several years. \nIn 2001\, she was elected to the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts (KVAB). In 2004\, she received the Francqui Prize\, the most distinguished scientific award in the humanities in Belgium. \nAt the intersection of Law & Anthropology \nSince 2018\, Prof. Foblets is heading a long-term project under the title ‘Cultural and Religious Diversity under State Law across Europe’ (CUREDI). CUREDI is a digital repository of cases – with a focus on case law analysis – that have to do with cultural and religious diversity and that show if\, how\, and to what extent diversity is granted legal recognition within the domestic legal systems of member states of the EU\, UK\, and Switzerland. \nThe CUREDI project is unparalleled in Europe in its effort to identify\, document\, and offer in-depth analyses of legal reasoning on the manifold issues related to the growing social diversity throughout the EU. The cases show how domestic legal orders are gradually adapting to the reality of increasing cultural and religious diversity\, as well as the demands for its recognition. The analyses focus on the arguments used in the rulings to justify the granting or\, conversely\, the rejection of claims to recognition of traditions\, concepts\, practices\, beliefs\, etc. Of particular relevance to the aims of CUREDI are references to empirical evidence\, anthropological literature\, or expert testimony used in judicial or administrative contexts to render a decision. \n \n\n\n\nPhoto: Sven Döring URL:https://events.deadlawyers.org/e/marie-claire-foblets-on-law-for-a-better-future/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://events.deadlawyers.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/a7711400bbdb702e0c8d710b3450d37a.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Kyiv:20230213T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Kyiv:20230313T193000 DTSTAMP:20260923T152922 CREATED:20230117T205459Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240221T192624Z UID:656-1676304000-1678735800@events.deadlawyers.org SUMMARY:Online | Privacy and Data: Law and Practice DESCRIPTION:For the 7th year in succession UCL’s Institute of Brand and Innovation Law (IBIL) will be hosting their annual privacy and data course\n\n\nAbout this course\nIBIL’s post-graduate CPD course examines the twin issues of privacy and data management from a host of perspectives with an increasingly international flavour. \nDrawing upon the expertise of respected speakers the topics will include such topics as: \n\n The UK Online Harms Bill\n  Press and the public interest\n The latest on GDPR\n Governance in relation to the use of biometrics\n Security and law enforcement\n International data transfer\n The challenges inherent in litigating against Big Tech\n Online advertising and tracking\n The effect of social media upon the human brain\n A review of international privacy cases currently going through the courts.\n\nThe final day will close with a keynote delivered by international writer\, blogger and award-winning novelist Cory Doctorow\, who will speak on: The Destruction of Surveillance Capitalism \nRunning every Monday afternoon (GMT) from the 13th February 2023 to 13th March 2023 inclusive\, sessions are offered remotely in order that students can join us from outside the United Kingdom.

To the Uttermost Parts of the Earth shows the vital role played by legal imagination in the formation of the international order during 1300–1870. It discusses how European statehood arose during early modernity as a locally specific combination of ideas about sovereign power and property rights\, and how those ideas expanded to structure the formation of European empires and consolidate modern international relations. By connecting the development of legal thinking with the history of political thought and by showing the gradual rise of economic analysis into predominance\, the author argues that legal ideas from different European legal systems – Spanish\, French\, English and German – have played a prominent role in the history of global power. This history has emerged in imaginative ways to combine public and private power\, sovereignty and property. \nThis event is hosted by the Centre for European and International Legal Affairs and co-hosted with Sheffield Centre for International and European Law. The discussant will be Professor Nicholas Tsagourias\, The University of Sheffield. \n \nSpeaker: \nMartti Koskenniemi is Emeritus Professor of International Law at the University of Helsinki and Director of the Erik Castrén Institute of International Law and Human Rights.

David Tadd\, the former head of Scotland Yard’s forensic unit\, who led over 950 officers\, bringing terrorists and criminals to justice and convicted armed robber Scott Walsh giving his take\, from the other side of the law into our prisons and criminal justice system. All will give their unique insights into our criminal justice system from very different perspectives. For more information please visit our Crime & Punishment page or Click here to buy tickets. \nPeter Collett \nPeter Collett is a psychologist and a former Oxford don. For many years he was a member of staff at the Department of Experimental Psychology at Oxford University\, where he taught and did research on a range of topics\, including body language\, culture\, management style and television audiences. Peter has written a number of books and presented several programs on television and will be giving his unique take on the criminal justice system and how to spot when someone is lying. Peter is widely acknowledged to be a world expert on communication. The Guardian called him a “body language guru” and the Mail on Sunday described him as “a grand master of the secret code of fleeting gestures\, signs and expressions that give us all away.” Reviewing one of Peter’s books\, Sir Peter Ustinov wrote that he “displays razor-sharp observation … There can hardly be a more astute and mischievous handbook than Peter Collett’s.” \nDavid Tadd \nDavid Tadd is one of the top forensic experts in the country. He was the forensics advisor to Lord Stevens inquiry into the death of Diana Princess of Wales. He served for 40 years in the Metropolitan Police and was head of forensic investigations and operations at New Scotland Yard leading 950 officers. He helped bring terrorists and murderers to justice and his reputation led him to being used by law enforcement agencies abroad. He was also seconded to Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabularies to act as the forensic advisor for thematic inspection into homicides in Northern Ireland. His knowledge and standing in the field of forensics is second to none \nScott Walsh \nScott Walsh is a convicted armed robber\, who was jailed in the No 2 Court at the Old Bailey in 1996. His last sentence was 19 years ago. Scott transformed his life and is now a pillar of his community with a law degree and has worked as a Parish Councillor since 2008. He lectures on criminal justice\, restorative approaches and his personal insights into our prison and the Justice System. He helped found and manage the charity\, The Restorative Justice Foundation and has worked extensively with young offenders.

This book explores how the law is entangled in colonial thought and in reproducing ideas of commodification regarding bodies and space-time. It examines the ways in which we can use theories and praxes of decolonisation to produce legal knowledge for flourishing futures. An essential intervention into the meanings of decolonisation\, this book explores how such an inquiry can inform teaching\, researching\, and practising law. \nIn conversation with Dr Adebisi\, will are also excited to be joined by Dr Katie Bales (University of Bristol) and Dr Beth Wangarĩ Kamunge-Kpodo (University of Reading). \n \nDr Foluke Adebisi is an Associate Professor at the Law School\, University of Bristol whose scholarship focuses on decolonial thought in legal education and its intersection with a history of changing ideas of the ‘human.’ Foluke also writes about Africa\, pedagogy and life in general at Foluke’s African Skies. Foluke has a background in legal practice and NGO work and is the founder and Director of Forever Africa Conference and Events – FACE. \nDr Beth W.

DESCRIPTION:Rights and Wrongs: sex-based and trans rights in the context of female prisons\n\n\nWhen: Tuesday\, 7th February at 1pm – 2.45pm (GMT) \nWhere: Room 313\, Third Floor\, School of Law\, Queen Mary University of London\, Mile End Road\, London E1 4NS (via Westfield Way) \nFormat: Hybrid \nThe Centre for Law\, Democracy and Society are delighted to host this talk is on Rights and Wrongs: sex-based and trans rights in the context of female prisons presented by Professor Jo Phoenix\, University of Reading. \n \nAbout \nIt is nearly 200 years since the 1823 Gaols Act segregated prisoners by sex. The original rationale for doing so was a pragmatic solution to the experiences of sexual victimisation that women experienced in mixed sex prisons as well as underpinned by a recognition of the different (to men) needs of women prisoners. Now\, two centuries later\, profound socio-cultural changes have driven increased recognition (and rights) of gender identity and gender expression and created new challenges for institutions organised by sex segregation. This presentation looks at the case of female prisons. It outlines current policies and practices concerning prison placement policy for transgender prisoners (with and without GRCs). It reviews the arguments for turning female prisons into mixed prisons (for and against) and argues that the current way of balancing rights against risks is problematic. \nSpeaker Profile \nProfessor Phoenix researches sex\, gender\, sexualities and justice\, youth justice and punishment\, the production of criminological knowledge and research ethics. She has studied and written about a wide variety of subjects including managerialism and ethics in the production of criminological knowledge\, prostitution\, prostitution policy reform\, child sexual exploitation\, youth penality and youth justice practice and policy. Her most recent research concerns academic freedom\, politics ethics and research and sex\, gender\, gender identity and criminal justice policy. Professor Phoenix has expertise in qualitative research methodologies and in analyzing criminal justice policy implementation and practice change in complex social organisations. She has been and remains particularly interested in understanding the changing conditions in which (some) women and (some) young people are criminalised and punished as well as the challenges facing those people who work with them.

Not only does it deal with thousands of cases per year\, coming from 46 countries across the continent; in doing so it also seeks to strengthen democracy\, human rights and the rule of law at the national level – crucial preconditions for the peaceful resolution of conflicts by domestic institutions. In the course of more than 60 years\, the Court has decided leading cases that gave shape and substance to the freedom of expression\, the right to a fair trial\, and so on. In recent years\, the Court is confronted with a new kind of cases. They revolve around the question whether there were ulterior motives behind the authorities’ actions. Mr. Navalny is arrested time and again when he wants to address his supporters. Is this simply an attempt to maintain public order\, or is there a purpose behind these actions\, for instance to silence a political opponent of the regime? A Polish judge is disciplined. Should the Court zoom in on the penalty imposed on him\, or should it review the case in the broader context of the ‘rule of law crisis’ prevailing in the country? Similar questions arise in the case of SLAPPs (strategic lawsuits against public participation). Cases like these have led to the ‘rediscovery’ of Article 18 of the ECHR. But they may also draw the Court — whether it likes it or not — into highly politically sensitive grounds. \n\n\nPresenter bio\n\nRick Lawson is Professor of Law at Leiden University\, the Netherlands\, and chair in European human rights law since 2001. He served as Dean of Leiden Law School from 2011 to 2016. He is also the Programme Director of the Advanced LLM programme in European and International Human Rights Law\, and vice-chair of the Management Board of the EU Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA) in Vienna. Professor Lawson specialises in European and international human rights law\, against the more general background of public international law\, international institutional law and EU law. He has published widely on the European Convention of Human Rights\, the Council of Europe\, and on the protection of fundamental rights in the EU legal order. He has also served on various occasions as an expert before Dutch Parliament and before the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE). He was a senior expert of the FRALEX Network of Human Rights Experts\, set up by the EU Fundamental Rights Agency (2008-2009); member of the Human Rights Committee of the Advisory Council on International Affairs (AIV)\, an advisory body to the Minister of Foreign Affairs (2011-2018); member of the board of the Praemium Erasmianum Foundation (since 2011); member of the Royal Holland Society of Sciences and Humanities (since 2013); and a founding member of the EU Network of Independent Experts on Fundamental Rights (2002-2006). Professor Lawson is also a member of the board of editors of the Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Mensenrechten\, the leading Dutch human rights law review.\n \n \n\n\nAbout the seminar series\nInstitutions for Conflict Resolution / Conflictoplossende Instituties (COI) is a research collaboration between Utrecht University\, Leiden University\, and Radboud University Nijmegen. As part of its activities\, the COI research group organises seminars throughout the year for researchers interested in current and innovative topics relating to institutions for conflict resolution. The seminars feature international speakers who present their work\, followed by Q&A and discussion. Themes include the evolving role of judges in preventing and resolving conflicts\, the role of alternative avenues and non-public actors\, and how societal challenges such as climate change or digitalisation affect institutions for conflict resolution. Seminars are hosted on a rotating basis at each of the three universities\, and are delivered in a hybrid format: online via Microsoft Teams and in-person\, on campus at the host institution. \n\n\nIn person attendance\nThe seminar will take place in a hybrid format: online and in-person at the host institution: \nLeiden University\, Kamerlingh Onnes Building\, Room A144\, Steenschuur 25\, 2311ES Leiden\, The Netherlands. \nPlease email Dr Asmaa Khadim at a.n.khadim@law.leidenuniv.nl if you wish to attend in person.

It’s link to the growth of Big Tech has brought it into the public conscience and created a level of interest from lawyers and general society alike. \nIn recent years\, the interplay between Competition Law and Data Privacy has proved to be a fascinating evolution in the competition space. Brought to a head during 2021’s Epic Games v Apple case\, we are beginning to see a privacy rationale being used as a shield against the accusation of anti-competitive behaviours. Both are legitimate interests\, but what should take precedence? How are courts and organizations dealing with the uncertainty? \nOn Wednesday\, January 25th\, join the Future of Law Lab for a spirited discussion with Competition and Privacy Law experts Erika Douglas and Francesco Ducci\, where we will explore how these substantive areas interact and how they might guide future policy\, regulatory\, and corproate actions.

While extending the geographical scope of EU law to regulate greenhouse gas emissions beyond the EU’s territorial borders may offer a promising regulatory approach in incentivising and ramping up efforts to address climate change\, it also raises a wide range of legality and legitimacy concerns from the perspective of third countries\, particularly considering its impacts on developing countries. \n \nAbout the speaker \n \nIoanna Hadjiyianni is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Law\, University of Cyprus. Before joining UCY\, she was a Max Weber Postdoctoral Fellow at the European University Institute. She received her PhD from the Dickson Poon School of Law\, King’s College London in 2017. Her thesis investigated the extraterritorial reach of EU environmental law and has been published as a monograph with Hart Publishing in 2019. The monograph was shortlisted for the ‘2020 SLS Peter Birks Book Prize for Outstanding Legal Scholarship’. She has taught EU Law and Environmental Law at King’s College London as a visiting lecturer.

The controversial 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force has provided legal cover in many cases. But lesser known laws have also enabled hostilities in the name of “security cooperation” — authorizing the Pentagon to create and use paramilitaries without notifying key decision-makers in Congress\, and permitting presidents to counter not just terrorist groups but also states\, such as China\, Iran\, and Russia.
