SUMMARY:Central Bank Digital Currencies
DESCRIPTION:This series of seminars on the future of FMI\, hosted by the LSE Law School\, was established in 2020 in order to provide a forum for interdisciplinary discussion of the most pressing issues relating to this systemic part of the global financial markets. Our theme for 2022/23’s programme is ‘Assessing New Developments’. With this theme in mind\, we are organising a series of events to contextualise and develop contemporary debates around central counterparties\, clearing\, settlement and the role of new technologies in FMI. For our next event\, we are delighted to be hosting John Kiff\, speaking on the topic of Central Bank Digital Currencies. \nIn this presentation\, John will discuss which central banks are doing what and how in the central bank digital currency (CBDC) space. He will also cover the risks and trade offs that are being managed in the design and rollout phases. The talk will be followed by a Q&A. \nJohn is Research Director at the Sovereign Official Digital Association (SODA)\, Head of CBDC/Digital Capital Markets Advisory at Satoshi Capital Advisers\, and Advisor to Whisper Cash. He was a Senior Financial Sector Expert at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) from 2005 to 2021. Prior to that\, he was at the Bank of Canada for 25 years\, where he spent most of his time managing the funding and investment of the government’s foreign exchange reserves\, including running its interest rate and currency swap book. At the IMF he was part of the team that produces the semi-annual Global Financial Stability Report. More recently he has been focusing on fintech issues\, digital currencies\, OTC derivative market infrastructure\, and longevity risk transfer markets. \nRegister here to receive Zoom link: https://lse.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZElf-qvqTsuHdzsqUhiYZsXqr-E90DqeDkO

SUMMARY:A theory of international taxation
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr Eduardo Baistrocchi (LSE Law School) \nThis event is online only.  The zoom link is here: \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lse.zoom.us/j/82996159042\n\nMeeting ID: 829 9615 9042 \nA Theory of International Taxation combines qualitative and quantitative analyses to shed light on the shaping of the international tax regime (ITR) over the last century. It offers a theory of the ITR as the product of the strategic interaction between three small groups: international investors\, tax hubs and market jurisdictions. These actors play different yet interrelated roles within the same ecosystem. The analyses show how each of the three small groups has influenced the emergence and governance structure of the ITR since its inception in the 1920s. The analyses cover the impact of shocks on the interaction between the three small groups. The book submits a normative proposal to induce the emergence of a fourth actor\, which would represent the large group of developing countries\, making the ITR more inclusive. Two unprecedented databases of\, first\, the input from the three small groups on the ITR structure\, and second\, tax treaty disputes involving the three small groups support the analyses. The group size paradox and antitrust law concepts ground the theoretical framework. \n

SUMMARY:The fall of FTX and the regulation of financial market infrastructures
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Dr David Murphy (Visiting Professor in Practice\, LSE Law School)\nChair:  Professor Jo Braithwaite (LSE) \nThe recent failure of the crypto group FTX brought some of the differences between traditional financial market infrastructure (‘FMI’) and crypto exchanges/clearing houses into stark contrast.  This talk will discuss what we know about the causes of the collapse of FTX\, how some of these would likely not have caused issues had the group been fully regulated as an FMI\, and what this means for the future regulation of crypto exchanges.

SUMMARY:Leading wherever they want? CSR\, ESG and directors’ duties
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Professor Jens Hinrich Binder (LSE Law School Visiting Professor)\nChair: Professor Jo Braithwaite (LSE) \nFocusing on the European perspective\, this talk explores company directors’ duties in the context of the debate about promoting environmental and social (ESG) interests. It argues that\, in contrast to traditional\, shareholder-oriented concepts of directors’ duties\, new stakeholder-oriented obligations have been established\, inter alia\, by new European legislation rooted in international standards. While far more detailed and prescriptive than traditional duties\, however\, the effect of these new obligations\, in the absence of effective sanction regimes\, may well turn out to widen\, rather than narrow\, the scope for discretionary\, exploitative corporate decisions. The talk therefore ties in with the increasing critique of stakeholderist theories of corporate governance\, particularly in the US legal literature\, and highlights the differences between the US and European systems of corporate governance in this regard. \nProfessor Jens Hinrich Binder

SUMMARY:Extraterritorial\, universal\, or transnational human rights law?
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr Dalia Palombo  \nTraditionally\, international human rights adjudication relied on the paradigm of extraterritoriality on the rare occasions when it was confronted with cross-border cases.  However\, with globalization\, transboundary human rights cases have multiplied\, and the extraterritoriality paradigm has been increasingly proven unfit to address global crises. Therefore\, it is necessary to look beyond extraterritoriality. This lecture analyses the competing paradigms of universality and transnationality as domestic courts have adopted them. It argues that international human rights adjudication should reconceptualise extraterritoriality against the background of universality and transnationality to address global crises. \nDr Dalia Palombo\n  \nThis event will be followed by a drinks reception.

SUMMARY:Genital cutting and the dignity of the child
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Professor Kai Möller (LSE) \nThe genital cutting of girls (‘Female Genital Mutilation’) is usually seen as a grave crime\, whereas the genital cutting of boys (‘circumcision’) is seen as unproblematic. Professor Kai Möller will make the case for assessing genital cutting not only or primarily in terms of the harm that such practices inflict on children but also in terms of children’s human rights and human dignity. He will argue that the genital cutting of children is wrong as a matter of principle because it violates the three dignitarian principles of moral autonomy\, fundamental equality\, and intrinsic value.

SUMMARY:FinTech and digital finance: (Session 5: Converging markets\, bigtech and the law)
DESCRIPTION:Register for the event\n\nSpeakers:  Dr Philipp Paech (LSE); Elisabeth Noble (European Banking Authority) \nElisabeth Noble\nDr Philipp Paech\nOverview of the Series \nThis co-curricular Master Class Series at LSE Law School is designed to provide students with a comprehensive introduction to regulatory and commercial law issues arising in the sphere of ‘FinTech’ and ‘Digital Finance’. Both terms are used interchangeably and refer to technology-enabled financial services and products that are either novel\, or traditional and provided in structurally novel ways. FinTech and Digital Finance do not have an existence apart\, rather\, they are part of the continuously evolving financial market as it keeps developing. \nDiscussion on FinTech typically focusses on terms such as blockchain\, stablecoin\, CBDC\, robo-advice\, and mobile payment. However\, to really understand these developments and identify key structural trends they are best discussed by reference to a number of – wider – central themes\, notably regulatory arbitrage\, the increasing use of technology\, datafication\, and the convergence of financial services with other markets\, such as social media and e-commerce. \nOur Convene Master Class Series will break down these developments and set them into their regulatory and legal context. It cuts across matters addressed in the curriculum at LSE Law School\, such as financial regulation and financial law\, commercial and corporate law\, data regulation and competition law. \nThis course is open to LLM and LLB students. It is designed to be co-curricular (i.e.\, not part of the LLM or LLB curricula) and complement other relevant courses. \nThey will earn a certificate for attending 4 or more sessions\, but the course will not count as credit\, to put towards any degree\, nor will it be examinable. \nThis is the FINAL session of the 5 Convene Masterclass Series so please join us to celebrate with a drinks reception afterwards. \nSession 5: The direct and indirect presence of BigTechs in the financial market is growing\, although their precise footprint differs between major financial centres. This raises various regulatory dilemmas\, including in the areas of competition\, data protection and financial stability. In this session we will explore the different roles that BigTechs are playing in the financial system\, and emerging regulatory responses at the international level intended to balance both the opportunities and risks arising from the rise of BigTech in finance. \nThis event will follow by a drinks reception. \nPlease note this event is FOR LSE STUDENTS only. LSE student ID card will need to be shown upon entry. \n

SUMMARY:The repatriation of cultural treasures from museums:  are there legal solutions?
DESCRIPTION:The past 20 years have brought a series of high-level requests for the repatriation of important treasures\, held in British museums\, to their countries of origin.  Latest polls show more than 50% of English public support returning the Parthenon Marbles to Greece.  The Horniman Museum has returned its collection of Benin Bronzes to Nigeria.  There are pending repatriation requests\, of various degrees of seriousness\, from Egypt\, India\, and Australia.  In other countries\, there have been repatriations based on long-term loans or indeed straight returns.  In this country\, it’s more complicated.  This event will discuss repatriation as a historical phenomenon in the context of museum collection development\, and as a political problem in the present\, and ask whether existing cultural heritage law has a significant role to play in untangling some of these problems. \nSpeaker:  Dr. Tatiana Flessas \nTatiana Flessas holds a BA in Philosophy from Wellesley College\, a JD from Northeastern University School of Law\, and an LLM and PhD from the London School of Economics. Before joining LSE\, she practiced law in the US and taught at the University of Reading School of Law. Her research interests are in cultural property and heritage law\, law and social theory\, and law and literature. \n

SUMMARY:Achieving justice For Ukrainians
DESCRIPTION:If you are unable to attend in person\, register for the event here  \nSpeakers: David Lammy MP\, Shadow Secretary of State for Foreign\, Commonwealth and Development Affairs\nWayne Jordash QC\, Managing Partner Global Rights Compliance LLP \nChair: Michelle Hughes\, Human rights lawyer\, former US military intelligence officer now a PhD candidate at LSE Law \nAn understanding of the nature and scale of the international crimes being committed in Ukraine by Russian forces and the role of the Ukrainian justice system and international actors are critical to an understanding of the challenges that lie ahead in trying to fashion some kind of accountability and justice for the Ukrainians. The starting point must surely be a focus on Russia’s methodology of war and its objectives. International actors\, including the ICC\, are important\, but in the end will they offer anything more than symbolic participation? Should not the overriding and overwhelming responsibility for addressing these crimes fall instead on the Ukrainian judicial system and civil society? If this is the case\, these will need supporting\, not only in symbolic ways\, but in real and tangible support on the ground. What is the true objective behind such support? Trials are important but are they sufficient?  Does not justice need to be approached in a broader\, more holistic way? \nDavid Lammy MP\n\nWayne Jordash QC \n\nMichelle Hughes

SUMMARY:Gerry Simpson in conversation with Ruti Teitel
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Professor Ruti Teitel (New York Law School) \nProfessor Ruti Teitel\nProfessor Gerry Simpson\nRuti Teitel\, Righting our Global Wrongs: The President and Justice for American Empire   \nConsider the US in the context of an “age of global accountability”. Despite significant scholarly literature US accountability in foreign affairs is conspicuously absent. Rather\, US engagement on issues of accountability is denoted by exceptionalism. Thus\, the question of “transitional justice\,” of reckoning with the past with an eye to the future\, has been largely a subject of American export. Starting with exploration of actions taken by the Obama administration\, this book argues that there are important questions of ongoing relevance about responsibility-taking for international intervention. The book traces the ways the US executive has addressed these questions over the country’s history and considers this legacy in comparative perspective. The inquiry’s focus here into the exercise of executive power reflects upon the ways the president has been able to move from conflict to peace engaging a range of versatile and dynamic practices\, including pardons/amnesties as well as political gestures such as apologies and acknowledgements.

SUMMARY:Remembering Karen Knop
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Catriona Drew\, Gerry Simpson\, Rob Howse and others \nKaren Knop was a professor at the Faculty of Law teaching in the areas of public international law\, private international law\, foreign relations law and citizenship law. She wrote on issues of diversity\, interpretation and participation in public international law. Her scholarship was broadly concerned with the challenges of gender and cultural differences to core concepts in public international law\, including sovereignty\, self-determination\, nationality and the relationship between international and domestic law. Her recent articles develop alternative approaches to these topics by turning to private international law and foreign relations law. Professor Knop’s book Diversity and Self-Determination in International Law (Cambridge University Press) was awarded a Certificate of Merit by the American Society of International Law. \nThis event will be followed by a drink’s reception.

DESCRIPTION:Register for the event  \nSpeakers:  Dr Philipp Paech (LSE); Elisabeth Noble (European Banking Authority) \nElisabeth Noble\nDr Philipp Paech\nOverview of the Series \nThis co-curricular Master Class Series at LSE Law School is designed to provide students with a comprehensive introduction to regulatory and commercial law issues arising in the sphere of ‘FinTech’ and ‘Digital Finance’. Both terms are used interchangeably and refer to technology-enabled financial services and products that are either novel\, or traditional and provided in structurally novel ways. FinTech and Digital Finance do not have an existence apart\, rather\, they are part of the continuously evolving financial market as it keeps developing. \nDiscussion on FinTech typically focusses on terms such as blockchain\, stablecoin\, CBDC\, robo-advice\, and mobile payment. However\, to really understand these developments and identify key structural trends they are best discussed by reference to a number of – wider – central themes\, notably regulatory arbitrage\, the increasing use of technology\, datafication\, and the convergence of financial services with other markets\, such as social media and e-commerce. \nOur Convene Master Class Series will break down these developments and set them into their regulatory and legal context. It cuts across matters addressed in the curriculum at LSE Law School\, such as financial regulation and financial law\, commercial and corporate law\, data regulation and competition law. \nThis course is open to LLM and LLB students. It is designed to be co-curricular (i.e.\, not part of the LLM or LLB curricula) and complement other relevant courses. \nStudents enrol on the dedicated Moodle page. They will earn a certificate for attending all five sessions\, but the course will not count as credit\, to put towards any degree\, nor will it be examinable.

SUMMARY:Confronting climate change: the laws we have and the laws we need
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Professor Veerle Heyvaert (LSE) \nIt is widely accepted and scientifically supported that\, in order to avoid major ecological disruption and catastrophe\, we should aim to keep global temperature rises to below 2 degrees\, and as close to 1.5 degrees as possible. Do the laws we currently have on the books help us to stay within manageable temperature rise boundaries\, or do they instead threaten the achievement of climate change objectives? In this showcase event\, we will tackle the question of whether current legal provisions in the UK and beyond are a friend or foe of sustainable climate change governance. \nProfessor Veerle Heyvaert
