24 November 2022: CIL Director Dr Nilüfer Oral was Invited to Speak at the International Order and Justice Lecture Series Organized by the Ghent University.

Following the successful International Order and Justice Lecture Series in previous years the Ghent Law Faculty will in 2022-23 organize a fourth series of guest lectures by, and concomitant closed sessions for doctoral and post-doctoral researchers with, seven undisputed ‘heavyweights’ in the broader international legal domain. The common theme of their interventions is ‘International Order and Justice’, symbolizing the structure of arguments in international law.

Seven experts will each deliver a public lecture on topics ranging from the protection of foreign investment in times of armed conflict, international law in the cyber domain, the protection of the marine environment, or the significance of international law for the EU’s trade and foreign policy. Particular attention is paid to the interaction between law and politics, and the evolution of international law’s place in the international community.

The external speakers will moreover participate in closed interactive sessions during which one or more doctoral researchers will present their research and receive first-hand feedback from an established legal scholar in their domain. Other doctoral researchers will be able to engage in the ensuing debate.

The lecture series is organized under the auspices of the Ghent Rolin-Jaequemyns International Law Institute (GRILI), in partnership with the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. It is made possible through the financial support of the Doctoral School of Arts, Humanities and Law at Ghent University.

Dr Oral gave the public lecture, titled ‘Climate change and the protection of the marine environment’
