Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Behind every case is a story… Join us for the launch of the second edition of International Law Stories. This book examines some of most significant international law cases in their social, political, and historical contexts, revealing the characters, plots and surprises behind well-known judgments.
The seventeen chapters—each focusing on a different controversy—and the editors’ four introductory reflections probe a range of timely questions: What is the efficacy of international law? How do international legal norms and processes intersect with national legal systems? What explains the enduring significance of some international law pronouncements? International law scholars, teachers, students, and practitioners will all discover valuable new insights in International Law Stories. The book also aims to reach readers new to the field, who will find themselves quickly immersed in core international law controversies and developments.
The contributors to International Law Stories have worked as judges on international courts, legal advisors to governments, advocates before international and national courts, members of United Nations bodies, and academics. We are lucky to have many joining us for this launch.
The event is followed by a drinks reception.
