Schindler Lectures

Starting with the academic year 2019/20, the Institute of International and Comparative Constitutional Law is launching the "Dietrich Schindler Lectures". In memory of its renowned international and constitutional lawyers Dietrich Schindler sen. (1890-1948) and Dietrich Schindler jun. (1924-2018), the Institute will invite every semester a distinguished scholar to give a lecture on a fundamental topic of international or constitutional law. The lectures are open to the general public.

In his lecture, Prof. Martti Koskenniemi will talk about the brief moment in the 19th century when a notion of "international society" seemed to provide a serious alternative to other ways to think about the laws of the international realm, its eventual demise by the end of the century and its occasional reappearance up to the present.
