The European War and International Law
October 24, 2023 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
On Tuesday, 24th October 2023, at 6.30 pm, international lawyers from the LSE Law School will discuss the latest phases of the war in Ukraine with particular attention to the various international legal responses (neutrality, war crimes, secession, sanctions) currently being mooted or enacted.
We will have three speakers for this event: Gerry Simpson, Lora Izvorova and Oliver Hailes.
Gerry Simpson, Professor of Public International Law
Gerry Simpson is Professor of International Law at LSE. His latest work, The Sentimental Life of International Law: Literature, Language and Longing in World Politics, was published by Oxford University Press in late 2021. He is currently writing a study of the Cold War (with Sundhya Pahuja at the University of Melbourne) as well as The Atomics, a philosophical memoir.
Lora Izvorova, LSE Fellow
Lora Izvorova is a Fellow in Law at the LSE Law School. Her most recent research focuses on Russia’s compliance with international human rights norms and the relationship between Russia and the Council of Europe, from which Russia was expelled in March 2022 as a consequence of its invasion of Ukraine.
Oliver Hailes, Assistant Professor of Law
Oliver Hailes is an Assistant Professor at the LSE Law School. Recent work has focused on reconciling investment arbitration and climate change by integrating rules from environmental law.
