First Year Workshop on International Law
Presentations by Natalia Menendez, Ahhyun Ryu, Wojciech Giemza and Daniel Litwin
The International Law Working Group provides a framework for new researchers to present their research in the field for international law and to get feedback from their peers and experts in the field. Please join for any given presentation!
09.10 - 09.50:
Interpreting National Security Exceptions in International Agreements, by Ahhyun Ryu
National security exceptions allow states to derogate from their treaty obligations in emergencies that threaten their very existence. These provisions embody a delicate balance between state sovereignty and the international rule of law. This project examines various interpretative methods that operate to preserve such balance.
9.50 - 10.30:
International Lawyers and the City, by Daniel Litwin
This Paper explores the connection between international lawyers and the city. Before the rise of cities as ‘actors’ of international law, (Western) cities had already been providing the social, economic, political, and material canvas for the legal imaginaries of international lawyers. They are the principal ‘sites’ where international lawyers operate. Treaties are negotiated in Paris or Geneva, disputes resolved in The Hague or Singapore, and international lawyers are educated at leading institutions in Cambridge or New York. In sum, international lawyers are intensely connected to the urban. This Paper suggests different ways that a spatial setting and contested terrain, the city, can explain patterns of knowledge production in international law. If the evolution of the urban world is seemingly inseparable from the embodied life of international law, how can we understand international law without understanding the urban world?
10.40 - 11.20:
International Investment Law against the General International Law Framework: Mutual Development through Jurisprudence? by Woijech Giemza
International investment law is one of the most dynamically developing as well as most vehemently criticized fields of international law. Though investment law is embedded in public international law, their relationship is not clear. My research revisits origins of investment law and analyzes the practice of citing the International Court of Justice by investment arbitration tribunals. It aims to assess the influence one field of law has on another via cross-citation
11.20 - 12.00:
Assessing the consonance of China’s cross-border law enforcement regime with the European regulatory standards on data protection, by Natalia Menendez
The increasing interconnection between China and Europe, the request of an adequacy decision on data protection by China, the common security threats and the arising of new law enforcement mechanisms, such as cross-border access to electronic evidence, have put the focus into China. It is undeniable that China and Europe share a common ground in the area of data protection, where the technology has made States to transcend the geographical borders. The area of law enforcement shares the same road due to the current transnational nature of crime. In this context, data transfers with law enforcement purposes have become a matter of great interest. However, divergent regimes could end up in major divergences that might cause a breach that negatively affects both powers at many levels.
The timing might be spontaneously adapted according to needs. If you are interested in receiving the draft papers, please send an email to:
