International Conference: Contested Seas: War, Commerce, and the Making of the Law of the Sea (c. 1400–1800) 19-20 November 2026, Ostend, Belgium Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), Campus Ostend / Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) Conveners : Stefano Cattelan & Frederik Dhondt (Vrije Universiteit Brussel – Faculty of Law and Criminology, Research Group CORE) Keynote speakers :  Surabhi Ranganathan (Lauterpacht Centre, University of Cambridge) Indravati Félicité (Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg) Concept and Rationale: The early modern law of the sea did not emerge as a coherent or pacified body of rules. Rather, it took shape as a fragmented and deeply contested legal regime. It was forged through recurrent warfare, commercial rivalry, and persistent struggles over jurisdiction and enforcement at sea. The pelagic arena was characterised by o verlapping jurisdictions, uneven enforcement, and profound asymmetries of power (Benton, 2010). The freedom of the s...

  (Source: Die Keure )  De nutteloze noodzaak van het recht Over het strafproces wordt vaak nagedacht in functie van een bevangenheid door snelheid, maar in de praktijk gaat het er veelal traag aan toe. Ook onze veiligheidscultuur is door en door gesteld op efficiëntie. En waarom ook niet? We willen immers dat criminaliteit kordaat en efficiënt wordt aangepakt. Echter, het is de vraag welke tijdsbeleving daarmee op de achtergrond verdwijnt en wat dat doet met mensen die met het strafrecht in aanraking komen. De nutteloze noodzaak van het recht neemt de lezer mee op een avontuurlijke reis door het denken over veiligheid, terrorisme en mensenrechten. Het is een striemende kritiek op nutsdenken en breekt een lans voor vertraging en voor de institutionele diepgang van het strafproces. Link & meer informatie: Uitgeverij   Die Keure

For example, territory is fundamental in the constitutional order of France, Belgium and the Netherlands. In private law, this attachment to land is equally present. Conflicts in property law are judged by the lex situs. The constitutio Antoniniana (D.1.5.17) did the same for Roman citizenship. National law, comparative law and legal history are based and strongly focus...
