SUMMARY:The Instability of Opportunism: A History of the Russell Tribunal on Vietnam
DESCRIPTION:The PIL hub lunch-time seminar series aims to provide an opportunity to discuss and debate leading research on contemporary\, theoretical and historical issues of international law. \nOn 4th March 2026\, Sjors Polm will present a talk titled ‘The Instability of Opportunism: A History of the Russell Tribunal on Vietnam’  This session will take place in Moot Court Room\, please see venue information below. \nThe Russell Tribunal on Vietnam was animated by a belief that international law had something to offer the antiwar movement. This belief was shared among the tribunal’s participants; the reasons underlying it were not. Based on extensive archival research\, this paper presents the tribunal as a forum where different ideas about international law as a resource for activism were put into action and clashed. It is a story of these ideas\, but more than that it is a story of the forum: of how different ideas about international law and activism gained or lost traction when they were enacted in the tribunal. The paper argues that while the tribunal was created as an opportunistic device to oppose the Vietnam War\, it gradually came to revolve around improving the law. Opportunism proved unstable because it was difficult to separate law’s language and rituals from its values and objectives. \nSpeaker: Sjors Polm is a PhD Researcher at the European University Institute. His thesis\, ‘Doing Politics by Pretending to Do Law’\, is a history of informal performances of law. Before coming to the EUI\, Sjors studied law (LLB\, LLM)\, philosophy (Ba\, Ma)\, and social sciences (BSc) at the University of Amsterdam\, where he also worked as a junior researcher and lecturer. He was a visiting student at NYU Law and is a visiting student at LSE. \n  \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Pathways to Breathe Clean Air: Ultra Low Emission Zones
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE – IN PERSON \nREGISTER HERE – ONLINE \n \nHosted by:  The UN Special Rapporteur on the human right to a clean\, healthy and sustainable environment; the LSE Global School of Sustainability; the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at LSE; Laboratorio por la Justicia Ambiental y Climática\, Universidad Iberoamericana Ciudad de México; Queen Mary University of London; and Imperial College London.  \nClean air is an essential element of the human right to a clean\, healthy and sustainable environment and a precondition for the enjoyment of rights including life and health. Yet most people still do not enjoy clean air. Air pollution crosses borders and disproportionately harms people in vulnerable situations\, with impacts intensified by structural inequalities\, climate change\, ecosystem loss and toxic pollution.  \nThe UN Special Rapporteur on the human right to a clean\, healthy and sustainable environment will present a report on air pollution and its impacts on human rights to the UN Human Rights Council in March. The report is focused on the protection of marginalised people and groups and based on updated science and legal advances. It draws on London’s experience with ultra-low emission zones. The report identifies priority actions for States and businesses to improve air quality from a human rights perspective\, highlighting urgent actions required to protect the health of people in the most vulnerable situations. This event will discuss the report’s recommendations and its implementation.   \nSpeakers:  Astrid Puentes Riaño\, UN Special Rapporteur on the human right to a clean\, healthy and sustainable environment   \nGregor Singer\, LSE Grantham Research Institute \nDebbie Obafemi\, Air Quality Manager – Great London. Authority \nChris Griffiths\, University of Oxford and Queen Mary University of London \nJemima Hartshorn\, Mums for lungs \nDryden Goodwin\, Artist\, public-art series Breathe (2012-26) \nSuzanne Bartington\, University of Birmingham \nChair: Joana Setzer\, LSE Grantham Research Institute \nPlease note\, although ticketed\, this event will operate on a first-come\, first-serve basis. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Socio-Legal Hub Seminar: ‘Immunity on Trial: Ethiopian Courts\, Chinese Corporations\, and Contestations over Sovereignty’
DESCRIPTION:‘Immunity on Trial: Ethiopian Courts\, Chinese Corporations\, and Contestations over Sovereignty’ \nSet against the backdrop of an extraordinary wave of litigation against Chinese corporations in Ethiopia\, Immunity on Trial probes the question of immunity in everyday encounters steeped in highly asymmetrical power relations. Political and legal immunity are justified by the principle that certain social aims outweigh the value of imposing liability. To be exempt from the rules\, however\, is a privilege granted to or demanded by the powerful\, one that is shaped by global inequalities. \nDrawing on observations from the courthouse\, interviews with litigants\, judges\, and court support staff\, and analyses of case files\, Miriam Driessen demonstrates how immunity is debated and delegitimized\, or affirmed\, by those who fight\, exact\, grant\, or weigh it. From the construction site to the police station\, from the registrar’s office into the courtroom\, she documents tussles over immunity\, unravelling the politics of dignity on which they are founded. \nSpeaker: Miriam Driessen is a political and legal anthropologist. She teaches in the School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography at the University of Oxford. Drawing on long-term field research in both China and Ethiopia\, her research explores local manifestations of global transformations in the wake of China’s increasing global presence. She is the author of Tales of Hope\, Tastes of Bitterness: Chinese Road Builders in Ethiopia. \n  \n \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Binding the Future: How to Prevent Backsliding in AI and Climate Governance
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE – IN PERSON \nREGISTER HERE – ONLINE \nGoverning intergenerational social dilemmas\, from climate change and biodiversity loss to artificial intelligence (AI) safety\, poses a distinctive credibility problem. Current leaders in governments and corporations can make long-term promises that existing institutions cannot reliably enforce over time. Whether the promise is a government’s climate plan or a company’s net-zero pledge\, the recurring question is the same: How can we make commitments credible?   \nThis talk brings together insights from behavioural economics\, corporate governance\, and AI governance to explore how commitment devices can “bind the future” when reciprocity\, punishment\, and formal compliance mechanisms are weak or absent. It presents evidence that individuals are willing to invest in binding mechanisms\, foregoing personal gain to benefit not only the next generation but also more distant ones\, reflecting “long-sighted altruism.” It further explores how commitment devices can convert aspirational pledges into enforceable obligations\, from contractual instruments in sustainable finance to technological mechanisms such as AI “kill switches.” Finally\, it examines the limits and risks of binding the future. The talk is based on research published in npj climate action and Ecology Law Quarterly.   \nSpeaker: Professor Oren Perez is a Professor of Law at Bar-Ilan University Law Faculty and Director of the Center for Environmental and Climate Law. He previously served as Dean of the Faculty of Law (2017–2022). He holds an LL.B. from Tel Aviv University\, a B.A. in Philosophy from the University of London (2015)\, and an LL.M. and Ph.D. from LSE. His research focuses on environmental and climate governance\, transnational regulation\, and law-and-networks. Recent publications include:  Algorithmic Constitutionalism\, 30 Ind. J. Glob. Legal Stud. 81 (2023) (with N. Wimer); Making Climate Pledges Stick: A Private Ordering Mechanism for Climate Commitments\, 50 Ecology L.Q. 683 (2023) (with M. Vandenbergh); Binding the Future Boosts Intergenerational Sustainability\, 4 npj Climate Action 15 (2025) (with E. Halali); Network Interactions and Mutual Dependence in the Global Sustainability Governance System\, Transnat’l Env’t L. (forthcoming 2026) (with O. Stegmann).  \nChair: Professor Veerle Heyveart is a Professor at LSE Law School and founding Editor-in-Chief of Transnational Environmental Law. She is also Associate Dean of LSE Law School. She teaches environmental law and European law. She has an LL.M. from Harvard Law School and a PhD from the European University Institute in Florence (It). In 1998-1999\, she was the inaugural Sir Peter North Fellow at the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies and Keble College\, Oxford. She has published extensively on issues of transnational environmental law and risk regulation\, including books on Transnational Environmental Regulation and Governance. Purpose\, Strategies and Principles (CUP\, 2019) and European Environmental Law (CUP\, 2017\, with S. Kingston & A Čavoški).  \nDiscussant: Dr Ashfaq Khalfan  is the Director of the Sustainability Regulation Observatory (SRO) at LSE. He was previously Climate Justice Director at Oxfam America and Law and Policy Director at Amnesty International. He has led research\, advocacy and policy development on energy transition\, climate finance\, climate inequality\, tax and climate policy\, strategic litigation and economic\, social and cultural rights. He holds a doctorate in law from Merton College\, Oxford University and degrees in common law\, civil law\, and political science from McGill University.  \nThis event is organised by the Sustainability Regulation Observatory which critically analyses sustainability regulation and generates insights into more effective design that advances human rights\, social justice and sustainability.

What law and jurisdiction govern? \nUnknown to the majority of qualified lawyers\, there is a detailed private law system of rules and practice supporting import / export transactions\, including the cross-border provision of services.  This system remains obscure\, despite the value of global trade being at an all-time high of nearly $33 trillion in 2024. \nThis certificate Trade Finance Masterclass Series at LSE Law School is designed to provide students with a comprehensive introduction to: (1) the legal rules and industry practice governing cross border trade and trade finance; (2) the continued challenge transitioning global trade from a paper based system to digital; (3) the risks arising for international trade when deals are impacted by economic sanctions or fraud. \nThis course is open to students at the LSE studying Law or Law and finance.  Students will earn a certificate for attending all sessions\, but the course will not count as credit to put towards any degree\, nor will it be examinable. \nSession 1 – 28 October 2025\nThe Hidden Rules of International Trade: Legal Rules and Industry Practice \nSpeaker: Lorna Strong\, Associate Programme Director\, MSc Law and Finance\nIntroductions: Professor David Kershaw\, LSE Law \nSession 2 – 11 November 2025\nThe Hidden Rules of International Trade: The Drive for Digital Transformation\, including a review of fintech and blockchain initiatives and the UK Electronic Trade Documents Act. \nSpeakers:\nLorna Strong\, Associate Programme Director\, MSc Law and Finance\nMichael Lehotzki\, Managing Associate General Counsel\, HSBC \nSession 3 – 18 November 2025\nThe Hidden Rules of International Trade: Managing the Risk of Economic Sanctions and Fraud \nSpeaker: Lorna Strong\, Associate Programme Director\, MSc Law and Finance \nThis event operates on a first come first serve basis and a ticket does not guarantee entry so we advise you arrive early to secure your seat. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:LSE Law & Anthropology Seminar Series: Housing\, Precarity\, and Polylegality in Urban Papua New Guinea
DESCRIPTION:The next LSE Law & Anthropology Seminar will be held on Tuesday 25 March 2025\, from 5pm to 6.30pm\, in the Old Anthropology Library (LSE Old Building).  \nSpeaker is Dr. Melissa Demian\, Senior Lecturer in Social Anthropology at the University of St. Andrews. Melissa will speak on “Housing\, Precarity\, and Polylegality in Urban Papua New Guinea.” This presentation will build on her field work in Papua New Guinea. \nThe cities and towns of Papua New Guinea (PNG) are characterised by formal urban centres which are surrounded by much larger areas of informal settlements occupying land held under customary tenure. Formal urban areas are situated on land that was alienated during the colonial era (roughly 1877-1975)\, and that were\, up until the postwar period\, conceived by the Australian administration explicitly as European towns in which Melanesians were to be solely transient labour\, quarantined in barracks and dormitories. These residential patterns were enforced through a range of “Native Regulations” and other laws designed to constrain the urban spaces Papua New Guinean people could occupy\, and how they could occupy them.\n\nNearly fifty years after independence\, towns and cities in PNG exhibit different forms of segregation and exclusion that may nonetheless be seen as extensions of the colonial legal regime. Formal housing in the city centres is largely affordable only to the Papua New Guinea middle class and expatriates on international salaries. The majority of urban residents live in the informal settlements. They do so under a variety of extra-legal leasehold agreements with customary landowners who may initiate or terminate leases at will. These landowners manage problems among their tenants with methods ranging from quasi-legal mediations with  to violent eviction and the destruction of houses\, most of which have been built by the tenants themselves.\n\nFocusing on housing in the city of Lae\, this paper initiates an enquiry into the polylegality of how people inhabit urban space in PNG. By “polylegality\,” I aim to convey an infusion of the legal not just with multiple legal regimes\, but with the multiple spaces created through everyday practices of dwelling\, and with the temporalities of a postcolonial urbanism that is still haunted by colonial law. Housing in the settlements is often described as precarious\, and can indeed present impressions of life on the edge at times. But for most settlement residents\, questions of precarity or security are always under construction\, entangled with the immediacy of conducting their relationships within the settlement\, and the multiplicity of modes of living that are available to them in the wider landscape of the city.\n\nAll LSE staff and PhD students are very welcome to attend. This event will operate on a first come\, first serve basis. \n\n\n	Related
