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

  The European Research Council awarded Prof. Frederik Dhondt with a prestigious ERC Consolidator Grant for the proposal TREATYLAB (“The Labyrinth of Treaties, 1712-1763”. International Law Behind the Scenes of Early Enlightenment Diplomacy"). Proposal abstract: The past of international law (the law produced and applicable between polities) is studied from various disciplinary perspectives. Our scholarly image prior to 1870 mainly rests on accounts of philosophy and theory, or the published final product of negotiations, treaties. This image ought to be corrected. International law is continuously produced and interpreted by the actors. The advisory work of Nicolas-Louis Le Dran (1687-1774), top civil servant in the forerunner of the French Foreign Ministry (bureaux des affaires étrangères) contains hundreds of substantial works drawn up on the basis of diplomatic correspondence and treaties, but also doctrine. Le Dran composed forward-looking advice for political decision maker...
