Lecture summary: This talk reflects upon the evolution of territorial sovereignty in international law. Professor Shaw will trace the classic origin and formulation of this key concept and discuss the major challenges to it, from internal threats such as self-determination and secession to external challenges such as the rise of international human rights, international criminal law and international environmental law. What may be concluded as to the balance between globalisation and territorialism today?

While a disappointing result for disarmament advocates, this episode has had a lasting impact on international law, and raises several policy questions for disarmament initiatives, especially the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW). By raising the threshold for what qualifies as a legal dispute, these decisions suggest disarmament proponents might need to reflect on how they frame the relationship between the TPNW and the NPT, and to consider whether they use international arbitration to achieve their goals.

Second, is it advisable to initiate new legal proceedings, despite having the legal standing to do so? Indeed, the ICJ has demonstrated yet again that it is reluctant to make definitive rulings on sensitive issues such as disarmament.11 In RMI v. UK, they established a new and harsher threshold for a legal dispute that will affect all future cases. In fact, the principle is already in international law textbooks.12 The ICJ does not seem to be an appropriate forum for pursuing disarmament objectives, given its reluctance to make substantial rulings on such issues could result in legal precedents that prove detrimental to applicants in other cases.

The RMI v. UK case changed the international legal landscape by introducing a higher threshold for a legal dispute. While this new threshold could potentially trigger a legal dispute, disarmament advocates have to reflect on whether international arbitration is the appropriate method to pursue their objectives. They also should decide whether to reinforce the connection between the TPNW and Article VI of the NPT in future NPT forums.

The course provides an overview of principles and current issues in public international law. The first part of the course explores the main sources, subjects, and means of dispute settlement in international law. Case studies addressing current issues will help understand how treaties are made and implemented, how international law addresses self-determination and secession claims, how international and supranational organizations function. The course includes a focus on the European Union, including its institutional framework and its role as a global actor.

The second part of the class proposes three selected topics: how international courts and tribunals, such as the International Court of Justice, aim at settling disputes; the use of force in international law with a focus on current issues such as the Syrian crisis and the Afghan crisis; business and human rights in the context of international law.

Much modern concern with the problem of international peace and justice has worked within these assumptions, either by seeking to control interstate war through understanding its causes, or by designing legal and ethical frameworks that can ensure a measure of peace and justice among states. By the late twentieth century though, this state-centric conception of peace and justice was being challenged by the growing significance of non-state actors as agents shaping world affairs, and as objects of international legal and ethical concern. Substate insurgent groups, transnational terrorist networks, international non-governmental organizations and civil society groups, and international organizations such as the United Nations, are all playing important roles alongside states as agents of war and peace, or justice and injustice. At the same time, individuals and groups have become more visible and significant in international law and international ethics, a change that has arguably qualified and redefined the rights and duties of states. Perhaps the most important expression of this change has been the rise of human rights discourse, which has provided an alternative normative language that rivals state sovereignty as the dominant framing of international justice. These developments lead us to ask whether it still makes sense to understand peace and justice in Westphalian terms. Should we still conceptualise peace as the absence of war between states, when most war now takes place within states, or in the form of asymmetric conflict between states and insurgent groups or terrorist networks? When massive human rights abuses are being perpetrated by a state against its own people, does it still make sense to understand international justice primarily in terms of non-intervention? And given that intervention to protect the innocent in such cases often requires the use of military force, how should we weigh the demands of justice against the desire for peace?

In this course, we will critically evaluate the Westphalian model, asking how peace and justice might be achieved among sovereign states and how much we might realistically expect. We will also ask how far Westphalian norms have been eroded by recent developments in international life, and whether a post-Westphalian international order is a good thing. We will explore these central questions by looking at the most influential ways they have been approached in international relations theory, international ethics, and international law. 2351a5e196
