One momentous day in June 1919 is often remembered, contrastingly, in the technicolour of its ambition and attempted modernity, or the foreboding monochrome of its destructive, self-delusion. However, the chromatic spectrum of the treaty's reality, both in its own time but also in its enduring legacy, highlights the peace project's formidable complexity. Just as the haze of the summer of 1914 is so compellingly captured in the tragic remembrances of pre-war tennis matches in Vera Brittain's Testament of Youth, so the vision of 1919 bathes in seasonal shimmers and phosphorescent flashbacks that cannot help but be the product of emotion rather than cool dissection. However, the peace process born of the Great War remains an exercise in revelation, as public international lawyers continue to interact with it well into the 21st century. Yet, there is (as perhaps there has always been) a distinct unsettling at how the peace settlement’s suffocating old-world tropes jostle with the first pangs of a new, scarcely recognisable, international society in the livery of the League of Nations. Like Mrs Dalloway, our various disorientating encounters with these events—these past, these living events—force us to reckon with the roles of time, faith and doubt in our discipline.
相比之下，1919年6月的一个重要日子，人们常常以其雄心壮志和尝试现代化的色彩来纪念，或者以其破坏性和自欺欺人的不祥的单色来纪念。然而，该条约现实的色彩光谱，无论是在其所处的时代，还是在其持久的遗产中，都突显了和平项目令人生畏的复杂性。正如薇拉·布里顿(Vera Brittain)的《青春遗嘱》(Testament of Youth)中对战前网球比赛的悲剧性回忆如此引人注目地捕捉到了1914年夏天的阴霾一样，1919年的景象也沐浴在季节性的微光和磷光闪回中，这不能不是情感的产物，而不是冷静的剖析。然而，诞生于第一次世界大战的和平进程仍然是一种启示，因为公共国际律师在进入21世纪后仍在继续与之互动。然而，和平解决方案令人窒息的旧世界形象如何与一个崭新的、几乎认不出来的、披着国际联盟(League of Nations)外衣的国际社会的最初阵痛相冲突，显然令人不安(或许一直如此)。像达洛维夫人一样，我们与这些事件——这些过去的，这些活生生的事件——的各种令人困惑的遭遇，迫使我们考虑时间、信仰和怀疑在我们的纪律中所扮演的角色。

What was the tree of liberty? This article takes Boston’s ‘sacred elm’ as a point of departure for exploring debates about the rights of man in late 18th-century England. The liberty tree is shown to be a revealing metaphor for the rights of man, with important literal resonance as well.

Following the recent turn to materiality in international legal scholarship, this article considers London’s Iraq and Afghanistan Memorial 1990-2015. By examining the memorial’s politics in respect of death quantification, gender, and lawfulness, the article reveals international law’s roles in contributing to the conditions of possibility from which the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan arose.

In 1923, Levi General Deskaheh sought recognition from the League of Nations of the Six Nations’ sovereignty and right to self-determination. Although scholars have good reasons for retroactively identifing Deskaheh as a representative of Indigenous peoples, doing so dissolves the identities of historical and present-day subjects, which has a number of invidious consequences.

This article analyses the prominent international legal historian, CH Alexandrowicz, known largely for his advocating of the East’s imprint on international law. It places his perspective of the East and South, and his diachronic narrative—the rise of naturalism, its fall to positivism, and eventual promise of return from positivism—in the context of his own traversing of geographies and his intellectual commitments, including his study of the Indian Constitution.

Money is central to production and the constitutional theory of money has emphasised its fundamentally public foundations, with flows of credit being demand-determined. Using France as a case study, this paper challenges the Law and Development framework by discussing law’s constitutive role in promoting industrialisation via the mobilisation of credit.
