  • Evidence of the evidence: An empirical study into the elements of customary international law

    CBG 1.06 Centre Building, Houghton Street, LSE, United Kingdom
    Seminars 
    Speaker: Massimo Lando (UCL)

    It is the established view that States are central to the formation of customary international law, understood as the dialectic process by which customary rules come into existence. States are the origin of practice and opinio juris, evidence of which they provide by acting on the international plane. However, States become disassociated from the formation of customary rules when the existence of those rules has to be ascertained, in a process known as identification. Massimo will argue that, because human agency is inevitable in custom identification, the States’ influence on determining which customary rules exist and their content is much more limited than it is generally thought to be.

  • Demystifying the characteristics and security of digital assets, cryptoassets and cryptocurrencies

    CBG 1.06 Centre Building, Houghton Street, LSE, United Kingdom
    Public Lectures 

    At this stage, a universally agreed taxonomy or classification of cryptoassets does not exist. A number of government bodies have adopted different approaches. The Law Commission has recently introduced crypto-tokens as a subset of digital assets in their consultation paper. As the UK hopes to become a global hub for cryptoasset technology and investment, regulatory initiatives need to catch up. Our panel of experts will discuss further issues and propose governance measures that could be implemented to better regulate this space.
