The human rights legal order is famously lacking in clear sanctioning power, yet it exerts considerable soft power in a wide variety of ways. The use of indicators- quantitative measures of performance -- tends to harden soft law in transnational contexts. In the human rights legal order, indicators help to define legal obligations more clearly and to specify the...

International War Crime Tribunals are sometimes marred by political wrangling and perhaps even tampering. But is this a reason for doing away with them entirely? Is the trial of war by law a process the citizen can trust, or is it, in reality, a process whereby selections of conflicts and individuals within a conflict are political or politicised decisions? Is the very law, by which those selected for trial will be tried, itself politicised in a way that is out of reach of the citizens affec...

Knowing how to protect your ideas and establishing clear legal rules for your business can be critical for new companies. Recorded: February 1, 2006

Patents encourage innovation by granting inventors exclusive rights to sell their inventions. The resulting monopoly profits are a reward for innovation. It is commonly thought, however, that these monopoly profits price some consumers of inventions out of the market. This loss of consumption is an "efficiency" cost of patents. Thus, according to the conventional wisdom an optimal patent regime should balance the value of innovation to those who can purchase it against the efficiency cost of ...

Britain's legal profession is renowned the world over for its skill and independence.

But this could result in quite different law jobs emerging which may be highly rewarding, even if very different from those of today.

Introduction to Political Philosophy (PLSC 114) The concept of "general will" is considered Rousseau's most important contribution to political science. It is presented as the answer to the gravest problems of civilization, namely, the problems of inequality, amour-propre, and general discontent. The social contract is the foundation of the general will and the answer to the problem of natural freedom, because nature itself provides no guidelines for determining who should rule. The lectur...

Moral Foundations of Politics (PLSC 118) The final Enlightenment tradition left to be explored in this course is social contract theory, for which we must return to Locke and somehow secularize his views and reconcile them with the refutation of natural rights. Modern social contract theorists replace natural rights with Kant's categorical imperatives, and accept the Aristotelian notion that there is no such thing as pre-political man. They approach the social contract as a hypothetical th...

The permanent International criminal Court (ICC) was long in planning and finally came into existence after the ad hoc Yugoslavia and Rwanda Tribunals (the ICTY and the ICTR) were seen to have had some success. However, problems facing the permanent court that involves itself in continuing conflicts have been seen to be different from those of the ad hoc tribunals that deal with conflicts that had been largely concluded when the tribunals first sat. African countries whose citizens have been...

Trials at the ICTY concerned political violence and criminality that resulted from disintegration of a federation from which seven new successors states were formed. That process has been defined as a 'clash of state projects', where violence happened in areas claimed by two or more parties, or an aspiring state. The war crimes trials at the ICTY that resulted from overlapping territorial claims in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo produced a huge record of trial evidence. Problems in the very smal...

Part II of The Moral Structure of Legal Systems concerns a peculiar correlation: tyrannical regimes nearly always possess chaotic legal systems. Dr Kristen Rundle asks: Why? One of the characteristic features of tyrannical regimes is their chaotic legal system. For Dr Rundle, this isn't just a case of poor legal housekeeping. The systemic disorder typically exhibited by the legal systems of despotic and transitional states occurs precisely because tyrants require forms of power that are i...
