Oh Thursday 6th February 2025 Professor Campbell McLachlan KC delivered his 1973 Professor Inaugural Lecture: 'On the Interface between Public and Private International Law'.The lecture begins at 05:18Abstract: Our understanding of the operation of law beyond the nation State has been deeply shaped by two great disciplines: public and private international law. Yet surprisingly little systematic attention has been devoted to the relationship between the two. In his inaugural lecture as Professor of International Dispute Resolution in the University of Cambridge, McLachlan argues that the neglect of this interface is highly consequential for our understanding of law's capacity to control the State and the corporation, which are, respectively, the principal holders of public/political and private/economic power in the world.Campbell McLachlan is elected as Professor of Law (1973) in the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of Trinity Hall. He took up his chair in July 2024, specialising in International Dispute Resolution. A New Zealander, his career has spanned scholarship and practice in private and public international law. His principal works include: Foreign Relations Law (CUP 2014), International Investment Arbitration: Substantive Principles (2nd ed, OUP 2017) and The Principle of Systemic Integration in International Law (2024).

Lecture summary: After 1945, the United Nations – and international organizations (IOs) more generally – were widely embraced as the ideal, democratic means to resolve international conflicts and promote global welfare. Sharing this almost feverish enthusiasm, a Western-controlled International Court of Justice adopted a deferential attitude toward IOs. The law it developed exuded confidence in the impartiality of IOs, premised on an unquestioning assumption that their subjection to legal discipline and judicial review would be unnecessary and even counterproductive. I propose that the time has come to concede that the utopian premises upon which the international law relating to IOs is based are flawed and outline a new course for the international law on IOs, one that addresses the inherent flaws of collective decision-making and can assist IOs to achieve their stated goals.Professor Eyal Benvenisti is Samuel Rubin Visiting Professor of Law, Columbia Law School (2022). He is the Whewell Professor of International Law at the University of Cambridge, CC Ng Fellow in Law at Jesus College, and the Director of the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law.

Lecture summary: What explains the persistence of the idea of international law’s systematicity in view of its decentralised nature, constantly dependent upon the shifting consent of states and the vagaries of political will? To what extent can its systemic character endure and adapt as the tectonic plates of geo-politics shift? In this lecture, Campbell McLachlan critically re-examines the evidence for the impulse to integrate the disparate elements of international law into a coherent system: the impulse that underpins the principle of systemic integration. He does so in light of the practice of states and international tribunals, which has deepened over the last fifteen years since his research on the principle for the ILC Fragmentation Study Group in 2005. He tests the fruits of this internal analytical perspective against both an increasing scholarly critique and the external disintegrative pressures that the system currently faces––pressures that appear to challenge the very value of global cooperation under law that underpins the idea of systematicity. Campbell McLachlan KC is Professor of Law at Victoria University of Wellington and 2022–23 Arthur Goodhart Visiting Professor of Legal Science in the University of Cambridge. He is author of Foreign Relations Law (CUP 2014) and International Investment Arbitration: Substantive Principles (2nd edn, OUP 2017). His book The Principle of Systemic Integration in International Law will be published by OUP in 2023. Elected to the Institut de Droit International in 2015, he served as Rapporteur of its 18th Commission on ‘The equality of the parties before international investment tribunals’, whose resolution was adopted in 2019. He has been invited to give the General Course at The Hague Academy of International Law in 2024. He is an associate member of Essex Court Chambers and Bankside Chambers and currently serves as president of a number of international arbitral tribunals.

Sheenal is the Co-founder of Arbor Lodging and Chief Executive Officer of Arbor Lodging Management.  I find the stories of senior leaders in hospitality who don't come up through the industry interesting, mostly because it's fairly rare and there's usually a shared camaraderie with others who know deep down what it's like to work on the front lines of a busy hotel or restaurant. That's often the precursor to earning respect in the industry. Well, Sheenal's story is different and that's why I wanted to have him on the show. As a CEO, you have many stakeholders to manage and complicated problems to solve, all while motivating your team to achieve. If the past couple of years has taught us anything, it's that the soft skills of leadership are the difference maker. And as discussions about culture dominate the industry right now, Sheenal is leading his team with a humble, ‘seek first to understand' style, which comes in part from not coming up through the ranks of a hotel company. We touch on the current climate, what we've learned over the past couple of years, and what is yet to come. If you'd like to know what keeps a hotel CEO up at night, this episode might help.

Lecture summary to print: 20 years later - How has International Law evolved as a legal Order? In 2000, Professor Dupuy delivered the General Course of International Law at the Hague Academy of International Law in The Hague, under the title L’Unité de l’ordre juridique international; it is an argumented criticism of the theory of the so called «fragmentation» of international law. Pierre-Marie Dupuy developed in this course, published in 2003 (Vol. 297) his theory on the dialectic tension between two grounds of unity of the international legal order: on the one hand the formal one, based on the technical forms and procedures of law, directly connected with the Hart’s theory of law as developed in The Concept of Law; on the other hand, the substantial unity, a hierarchical one, based not any more on the forms, which are neutral in essence, but on the very content of some peremptory norms of international law (jus cogens); this substantial unity entails a number of rather easily identifiable rules including in particular some fundamental principles of human rights law; but, as demonstrated by the international case law, substantial unity also includes a few «fundamental» rights of the State, to speak like the ICJ in one of its advisory opinions (Legality of the Threat or Use of Nuclear Weapons, 1996) and this constitutes a supplementary factor of inherent tension. Two competing principles of unity, formal and substantial or material) for the same legal order are not necessarily the best means for ensuring the persistence and overall stability of the whole system! One would have probably been more efficient. But so it is (or was since the sixties) because of the common will of the States composing what is called «the international community of states as a whole» (Art. 51 VCLT), a term which is to be taken not as a mere description of political reality but as the recourse to what is called in legal technics «a legal fiction» (fiction juridique). In his general course, far from predicting the final supremacy of one of these grounds of unity over the other, the two of them being at the same time competing and complementary, the author privileged an open ended conclusion which is far from an Hegelian synthesis; rather, it is indicative of the impossibility of drastically forecasting the overall evolution of the whole international legal system; this is because international law is not only an abstract (and formal) combination of primary and secondary rules; it is also directly conditioned by a number of structural and/or contextual sociopolitical elements which are in constant evolution (a reason why the classical positivist doctrine does not want to take them into account). Whatever the case may be, the tension between the two sources of unity of the international legal order is at the very core of the inherent dynamic of this order. Almost twenty years after the delivery of this course, it seems interesting to review and reconsider this theory of the two kinds of unity of the international legal order (formal and substantial) in particular at a time when an increasing number of «populist» leaders very much seem to ignore, or voluntarily deny the validity of some of the key substantial principles on which the international legal system was re-founded within and around the United Nations in 1945; is, in this respect, the future of international law as a legal order more predictable than before or not? And, if yes, in which direction?

Lecture summary: This talk reflects upon the evolution of territorial sovereignty in international law.
