OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Professor Janina Dill delivers the inaugural lecture for the Dame Louise Richardson Chair in Global Security at the Blavatnik School of Government.
Global Security: Is Law Our Last Hope?
We are living through a crisis of global security, with armed conflicts multiplying and escalating. International law seems as relevant as it seems ineffective in addressing these challenges. Can international law de-escalate conflicts and protect civilians? The lecture will highlight political and doctrinal obstacles to securing the globe by means of law. And yet without the rule of law, we have no hope of global security at all.
The lecture is followed by a drinks reception.
