For each of the five sessions, a short paper will be presented by a speaker. This paper is intended to introduce the topic of the session; the sessions will otherwise be in the form of discussion, moderated by the chair, involving all participants. This seminar will be the first of two where issues relating to general principles of law will be discussed.
The seminar is co-organized with the Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law & Armed Conflict and the Institute of European and Comparative Law, Oxford.
