Tuesday, 6 February 2018 - 2.00pm
Location: 
Lauterpacht Centre for International Law, Finley Library

Tuesday, 6 February 2018 – 2 pm - 5 pm (coffee break at 3.30-3.45 pm)

During its sixty-ninth session in May 2017, the International Law Commission placed the topic of ‘Succession of States in Respect of State Responsibility’ on its current work programme. The traditional thesis that there is no succession in the field of state responsibility for internationally wrongful acts has been challenged by recent state practice and evolving doctrinal views. The cases of succession in Central and Eastern Europe in 1990s, as well as the unification of Germany, provide some of the examples in this respect. The aim of the symposium is to discuss state succession in respect of state responsibility and related issues in different fields of international law, in order to identify current trends and emerging rules.

Main speaker: Professor Pavel Šturma, Charles University in Prague, Special Rapporteur of the International Law Commission for ‘Succession of States in Respect of State Responsibility’
