SUMMARY:How culture becomes a weapon?: Lessons from Russia’s War on Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \n\n\n\nTHIS EVENT IS OPEN TO THE LSE COMMUNITY ONLY. A VALID LSE ID WILL BE REQUIRED FOR ENTRY. PLEASE NOTE THAT BOOKING A TICKET DOES NOT GUARANTEE ADMISSION. TO ENSURE YOUR PLACE\, WE ADVISE ARRIVING EARLY. \n\n\nThe Russian Federation’s intervention in Ukraine\, which commenced in 2014\, escalated into full-scale armed conflict in 2022. Russian attacks on Ukrainian territory have not been limited to military objectives but also extend to civilian infrastructure. Beyond road bridges and power stations\, Russia has also targeted publishing houses\, libraries\, and museums\, and other places of cultural significance. In this\, Russia’s actions fit within a broader long-term weaponization of culture in the service of a political narrative that questions Ukrainian national identity and statehood. The current active campaign against the culture of the Ukrainian people highlights longstanding concerns for the protection of culture and heritage in war. \nThe panel will discuss the complexities of cultural heritage\, from the perspective of a variety of relevant actors in the current conflict\, including military\, the public\, and international partners. The panel will examine the question of war crimes against heritage objects\, including the deliberate targeting of heritage and looting. The speakers will explain how objects of cultural significance are invoked to justify and legitimate violence\, to the point of providing a rhetorical justification for war. The panel will address the broader questions raised by cultural heritage in conflict narratives as well as the distinctive Ukrainian cultural viewpoint emerging from its fight for independence and freedom. \nSpeakers: \nLieutenant Colonel Timothy Purbrick – Military Cultural Property Protection Consultant at Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe \nKristin Hausler – k.hausler@biicl.org – Dorset Senior Research Fellow in Public International Law and Director\, Centre for International Law at the British Institute of International and Comparative Law \nIryna Odrekhivska –  i.odrekhivska@ucl.ac.uk – Lecturer in Ukrainian and East European Culture\, School of Slavonic and East European Studies at University College London \nChair: David Kershaw – Dean of LSE Law School\, Professor of Law \nThis event is jointly organised by LSE Law School and LSE Lawyers Without Borders

SUMMARY:Live Broadcast of the ICJ’s Advisory Proceedings on Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Come along to watch the live broadcast of the opening of the advisory proceedings of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on climate change\, focused on the arguments of Vanuatu and Melanesian Spearhead Group. \nThe advisory opinion given by the Court after its two-week hearing is expected to set the agenda for general international law on climate change and energy transition\, above and beyond the diplomatic agenda of the climate COPs. \nStudents with an interest in international law\, oral advocacy\, and/or environmental issues are particularly encouraged to drop in at any time. \nBy way of background\, on 29 March 2023\, the UN General Assembly (UNGA) adopted a resolution by consensus (A/RES/77/276)\, led by Vanuatu and over 100 co-sponsors on the original initiative of Pacific Island Students Fighting Climate Change. The UNGA thereby requested the ICJ to give an advisory opinion on the following questions: \n\nWhat are the obligations of States under international law to ensure the protection of the climate system and other parts of the environment from anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for States and for present and future generations?\nWhat are the legal consequences under these obligations for States where they\, by their acts and omissions\, have caused significant harm to the climate system and other parts of the environment\, with respect to:\n\n(a) States\, including small island developing States (SIDS)\, which\, due to their geographical circumstances and level of development\, are injured or specially affected by\, or are particularly vulnerable to\, the adverse effects of climate change? \n(b) Peoples and individuals of the present and future generations affected by the adverse effects of climate change?

SUMMARY:FinTech and Digital Finance Masterclass – Session 3
DESCRIPTION:Please note that this course is designed for LLB & LLM students ONLY. \n\n\nREGISTER HERE \n\n\nCertificates will be provided to participants who attend all five Sessions. \nIt is mandatory for all participants to present their valid LSE ID cards upon arrival at each masterclass. Failure to do so will regrettably result in denial of entry. \nThis certificate Master Class Series at LSE Law School is designed to provide students with a comprehensive introduction to regulatory 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 exclusively to LLM and LLB students at LSE Law School. It is designed to be co-curricular (i.e.\, not part of the LLM or LLB curricula) and complement other relevant courses. \nStudents will earn a certificate for attending all sessions\, the course will not count as credit\, to put towards any degree\, nor will it be examinable. \nSpeakers: Philipp Paech\, Elisabeth Noble \n
