INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE On COMPARATIVE LAW Organized by: Amity Law School, Noida and School of Business & Law, Edith Cowan University [Western Australia] February 19-20, 2021

CONFERENCE 2021: THE THEME

The field of comparative constitutional law has grown immensely over the past couple of decades. Never before has the domain had such a broad range of interdisciplinary interest, with lawyers, political scientists, sociologists and even economists making contributions to our collective understanding of how constitutions are designed and operate. It is imperative to compare the legal structures of different countries in order to draw a better understanding of one’s own legal framework. Subsequently, it also allows improving the understanding of the relationship between the legal, social, political and economic spheres of a country as well as identifying opportunities for legal reforms. The ultimate aim is to deal with the plurality of constitutional rules and to draw attention to similarities and differences in order to create models to explain the values that underpin the constitutional agreements.

Driven by the global spread of democratic government and the expansion of international human rights law, the prominence and visibility of the field has grown exponentially. The use of comparative analysis to express skepticism about judicial power, constitutional design, and the status quo of liberal democracy, by opening up the range of possibilities, is squarely in the best traditions of “comparativism”, and it continues to be much needed. The conference affords an opportunity to legal professionals, learned members of the academia, research scholars and students to explore the various domain comparisons between two or more countries deemed suitable to them with the lone stipulation that India or Australia, must be taken as the basal of comparison.

Sub-Themes

The author may make a choice from either of the following sub-themes which are non-exhaustive.

Covid-19 and the Ensuing Challenges to Democracy, Human Rights, Business, Technology, etc.
The Scope of Freedom of Expression
Media and Law: The Interface
Freedom of Thought, Conscience and Religion
Health and Reproductive Rights of Women
Gender Neutrality vis-a-vis Sexual Offences
Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and LGBTQIA Rights
Environmental Democracy
Minimum age of Criminal Responsibility: The Debate and Way Forward
Right to Privacy in the Digital Age
Personal Laws in Evolving Times
Global Work Practices and Need for Affirmative Policies with Special Reference to Paternity Leave, Menstrual Leave, Stipulated Days/Hours of Work, etc.

The lab currently focusses on near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-based methods to perform in-vivo monitoring of metabolic markers such as haemoglobin oxygenation, mitochondrial function and blood flow. We are interested in pioneering tools and techniques to monitor relevant physiology for both basic science and medical applications. Our work is highly translational and we work closely with clinical partners in Addenbrooke’s Hospital to deliver technologies that progress medical therapeutics.

Project Description: NIRS is a prominent tool for functional brain imaging in situations where traditional neuroimaging (e.g. fMRI) isn’t possible, such as intensive care or in the community. Our lab develops broadband spectroscopy techniques to perform metabolic monitoring with NIRS. This has unique applications in brain injury, autism and dementia. To facilitate the translation of these tools into the clinic, devices need to be developed to cover the whole brain that are non-invasive and wearable, to perform metabolic imaging where is it most needed. The successful candidate will test and develop novel technological solutions to perform wearable broadband spectroscopy. These solutions could range from those developed in-house, existing equipment within our laboratories, or with industry. On successful demonstration of wearable single-channel on-head spectroscopy, they will pursue the development of a multichannel system for whole-head metabolic imaging. This project will involve creating new computational methods alongside experimental optics to achieve diffuse optical imaging of cerebral metabolic function. These devices will be validated with test objects which mimic biological optical properties and on healthy human volunteers.

This project is in collaboration with the Dr Sarah Bohndiek (VISIONLab, bohndieklab.org) in the Department of Physics.

This system will ultimately be deployed in the Addenbrooke’s Hospital to investigate optical metabolic biomarkers of dementia with Prof John O’Brien, Department of Psychiatry.

Desirable Skills: A background in optics/photonics and experience with programming (MATLAB, Python, etc.) would be advantageous. The candidate must have (or expect to obtain) a 1st or 2:1 degree in physics, engineering, or a related subject. Candidates with previous industrial or academic research experience and a strong interest in the project will also be considered. We value a candidate with the desire to learn, create and innovate.

The successful candidate will have a strong interest in optical technologies and experimental work. They should: enjoy working at the interface between different disciplines; be keen to take the initiative with independent creativity and problem solving; and exhibit strong motivation toward the project. In addition, they will require: excellent oral and written communication skills; good team working skills; and a strong critical thinking capability. Examples of any past experience that demonstrates these characteristics should be highlighted in the cover letter that accompanies any application. We expect the candidate will develop into an independent experimental researcher and will present their work in academic journals and conferences.

Further Information: Interest in or requests for more information about the project should be made to Dr Gemma Bale (gmb49@cam.ac.uk) and Prof Sarah Bohndiek (seb53@cam.ac.uk) with the subject line “Wearable Spectroscopy PhD” before application to the University.

This 3.5-year studentship will cover home level University fees and a maintenance allowance.

Applications should be submitted via the University of Cambridge Applicant Portal www.graduate.study.cam.ac.uk/courses/directory/egegpdpeg, with Dr Gemma Bale identified as the potential supervisor.

EPSRC FIBE2 CDT PhD studentship with AVEVA and BP: Prioritising interventions in infrastructure design and operations for lower carbon energy assets

This is a four-year (1+3 MRes/PhD) studentship funded through the Cambridge EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Future Infrastructure and Built Environment: Resilience in a Changing World (FIBE2 CDT). The FIBE2 CDT aims to develop the next generation of infrastructure professionals who can create, shape and deliver the national vision for UK infrastructure, who will be equipped with a versatile and cross-disciplinary skill set to meet the most complex emerging challenges and contribute effectively to better infrastructure decision-making in the UK. Further details can be found at https://www.fibe-cdt.eng.cam.ac.uk/

The project is funded in collaboration with AVEVA, a Global Leader in Industrial Software that deliver solutions and expertise to optimize engineering, operations and performance supporting the evolution of the industries and BP, a company that provide heat, light and mobility to customers all over the world, with a purpose to reimagine energy for people and the planet and an ambition to be a net zero company by 2050 or sooner.

Project details: Several companies have recently announced pledges to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Achieving this target will require profound changes in the design and operation of assets. Yet, currently there is little awareness about the greenhouse gas emissions implications from infrastructure design choices that take into consideration materials, fabrication and uncertainties related to how digital technology will impact operations and decommissioning. To what extent can design choices about industrial infrastructure influence future operational emissions? Which parameters should be considered and which should carry the highest weight in decision-making? What trade-offs exist between design for operability and design for minimal emissions?

This project will explore these questions and it has the following research objectives: 1. Compare the relative importance of the various stages of the life cycle of assets in terms of key economic and environmental variables. 2. Explore the impact of alternative interventions in the design, location, operation, material choice, and timeline of deployment in terms of emissions and costs. 3. Explore how design and operation of infrastructure influence the achievement of climate targets. 4. Develop a dynamic tool to assess the whole system impacts of design and operation choices of large scale energy assets. 5. Prioritise interventions and recommendations of future practices for specific case studies.

Informal enquires about this post can be made to Dr André Cabrera Serrenho (ag806@cam.ac.uk).

For general enquiries, please email cdtcivil-courseadmin@eng.cam.ac.uk.

For further information, go to: https://www.cruk.cam.ac.uk/jobs-and-studentships/postgraduate-study

Dr Maike de la Roche wishes to appoint a student to work on the project entitled: Hedgehog signalling in unconventional T cells. For further information about the research group, including their most recent publications, please visit their website: https://www.cruk.cam.ac.uk/research-groups/de-la-roche-group

Project description: γδ T cells are unconventional T cells that combine adaptive features with rapid innate-like functions and can have striking anti-tumour effects – mainly due to their extensive cytotoxic capacity and IFN- γ production. However, tumour-promoting roles of the IL-17-producing γδ T cell subsets have recently emerged. Signalling pathways regulating these two very different subsets of γδ T cells are poorly understood.

The Hedgehog (Hh) signalling pathway has important roles during embryonic development and adult tissue maintenance. Our lab has found that cell-intrinsic Hh signalling is important for CD8 T cell killing. Whether Hh signalling is critical for the function of γδ T cells is not known. This project aims to elucidate how Hh signalling is orchestrated in γδ T cells and influences their development throughout the anti-tumour response in vivo.

The research project will involve the use of in vivo models, culture and genetic manipulation of primary immune cells, live cell imaging approaches, RNA-Sequencing, quantitative proteomics, FACS as well as basic cell biology and biochemistry.

Qualifications/skills: The ideal candidate would have a solid knowledge of immunology and experience in one or more of the areas mentioned above. He or she would be highly motivated to drive an independent research project.

Funding: This project is funded by a Cancer Research UK studentship that includes full funding for University and College fees and a stipend of £19,000 per annum.

PhD Studentship – From molecular recognition to drug design: Deeply exploring and characterizing molecular pockets to overcome drug resistance @ university of Cambridge

Deadline
The closing date for applications is 15 November 2020, with interviews expected to take place in December/January.

Dr Pau Creixell wishes to appoint a student to work on the project entitled: From molecular recognition to drug design: Deeply exploring and characterizing molecular pockets to overcome drug resistance.

For further information about the research group, including their most recent publications, please visit their website: https://www.cruk.cam.ac.uk/research-groups/creixell-group

Project description: Our newly established lab combines machine learning approaches with high-throughput biochemistry to study how proteins recognise their substrates, how cancer could perturb this process, and how to find highly selective drugs to overcome drug resistance in cancers.

Aberrant protein kinase-driven signaling causally contributes to cancer and, in consequence, protein kinases are major targets for cancer therapeutics. Therapeutic efforts have traditionally focused on targeting the ATP-binding pocket of protein kinases, however, these drugs often must be used in high concentrations to outcompete ATP, have low specificity, and the proteins often develop resistance. In this project, by deeply studying and characterizing the substrate binding pocket with novel peptide display technology we have developed combined with machine learning and computational modelling, we will work towards developing high-specificity drugs that avoid the common and well-known mechanisms of drug resistance.

PhD Studentship – High dimensional tissue imaging to track genomic selection by immune predation in situ in breast cancer

Deadline: The closing date for applications is 15 November 2020, with interviews expected to take place in December/January.

Dr Raza Ali wishes to appoint a student to work on the project entitled: High dimensional tissue imaging to track genomic selection by immune predation in situ in breast cancer.
For further information about the research group, including their most recent publications, please visit their website: https://www.cruk.cam.ac.uk/research-groups/Ali-group

Project description: The repertoire and spatial localisation of tumour infiltrating leukocytes impact breast cancer outcomes (reference 1). Early trials also indicate that some patients with triple-negative breast cancer stand to benefit from immunotherapies (references 2,3). But which patients benefit and what mechanisms underpin resistance are not known. Tumour evolution is driven by ongoing somatic mutation. There is evidence that predation by the immune response selects for fitter genomic clones able to effect immune escape (e.g. by gain of CD274 [PD-L1] (references 4,5)). But when immune selection takes place during the trajectory of disease progression is not known. Similarly, it is not clear whether this process shows spatial variation, which would lead to regional purifying selection with implications for disease dissemination and immunotherapy response. We use high-dimensional imaging (imaging mass cytometry [IMC]) to study the dynamic ecosystems of breast tumours (reference 5). This project will aim to develop these techniques to answer the following: (1) Can genomic clones be reliably identified in situ? (2) Is spatial clonal enrichment explained by the local tumour-immune microenvironment? (3) If so, when during the process of disease progression does immune selection occur? To address these questions, the student will develop highly multiplexed composite RNA/protein IMC assays (reference 6) for application to patient breast tumour tissues, and use sophisticated image analysis techniques and computational biology to arrive at quantitative conclusions.

EPSRC FIBE2 CDT PhD studentship with AVEVA and BP: Digitising Industrial Facilities @ universirty of cambridge , uk

Project Details: There is a growing awareness that industrial facility owners are managing very expensive and complex facilities with data that is too little or too outdated but most of all not integrated. This leads to suboptimal facility design, construction and operation. The Digital Twin concept offers a theoretically viable solution to this problem. However, we currently do not know (i) how to structure an industrial facility Digital Twin or (ii) how to cost-effectively construct and maintain it. This project aims to address these two knowledge gaps.

The Digitising Industrial Facilities project will focus on geometry and visual data of large scale energy assets to maintain feasibility. In this project, the student will: a) collaborate with the FIBE2 Partners and the Centre for Digital Built Britain (CDBB) to conduct a user requirements analysis for the purpose of deriving a geometric Digital Twin data structure; b) develop a matching method for comparing captured data with the geometric digital twin to construct and maintain it; c) if time allows, develop a data fusion method for linking other forms of data into the geometric digital twin.

Informal enquires about this post can be made to Dr Ioannis Brilakis (ib340@cam.ac.uk ).

For general enquiries, please email cdtcivil-courseadmin@eng.cam.ac.uk.

Applicants should have (or expect to obtain by the start date) at least a good 2.1 degree in a Bachelors or Masters in any engineering or computer science. They should have some computing skills or experience, and very good English language skills.

To apply for this studentship, candidates must apply through the University’s Graduate Admissions application portal not later than 3 December for a Michaelmas 2021 start. The portal is at: https://www.postgraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/courses/directory/egegpdfib and there is a £70 fee for PhD applications, with ‘Digitising Industrial Facilities’ quoted on the form and Dr Ioannis Brilakis identified as the potential supervisor.

News-Bangladesh Cabinet Approves Death Penalty For Rape Convicts After Nationwide Outrage.

Bangladesh’s cabinet has approved the proposal to increase the maximum punishment in rape cases to death from life imprisonment after widespread anger across the country due to a rise in sexual assaults. The in-principle approval was reportedly given at a cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

“Bangladesh Law Minister Anisul Huq told reporters that the proposed law stipulates that “the maximum punishment is death penalty for the sex offenders.” Bangladeshi President Abdul Hamid is expected to promulgate an ordinance, amending the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act, on October 13 to enact the increased punishment for rapists.”

Currently, capital punishment in rape cases can be sought only if the victim dies after the assault. A series of violent sexual attacks in Bangladesh triggered protests in Dhaka and other major cities, demanding strong action against perpetrators. Local women’s rights group Ain-o-Salish Kendra (ASK) said that 975 rapes, including at least 208 gang rapes, occurred between January and September. As many as 43 of the rape victims died after an aggravated assault and 12 committed suicide, the rights group says on its website.

Call for Papers: Young European Law Scholars Conference

Deadline: 10/15/20

Event Date: 05/20/21 to 05/21/21

Location name: University of Zurich

European Society of International Law

4th Young European Law Scholars Conference

Back to Beginnings: Revisiting the Preambles of European Treaties Call for Papers

The 4th annual Young European Law Scholars Conference (YELS) will be held on Thursday 20 and Friday 21 May, 2021, at the University of Zurich. The conference is organised in cooperation with the University of Zurich and the Liechtenstein Institute, and sponsored by the European Society of International Law. We invite young European law scholars (i.e. scholars who have not yet secured a full professorship) to contribute to an academic debate on the topic ‘Back to Beginnings: Revisiting the Preambles of European Treaties’. All scholars whose papers have been selected will be given the opportunity to present their work, and to receive feedback from a distinguished senior European law scholar.

Topic

In recent years, discussions about the crises in, and the future of, Europe have been at the centre of European legal studies. Instead of revisiting these well-researched topics, it seems appropriate to take a step back and focus on the beginnings of European treaties — namely on their preambles. International treaties are commonly preceded by a preamble. European treaties, such as the Treaty on European Union (‘TEU’), the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (‘TFEU’), the EEA Agreement, the bilateral agreements between Switzerland and the EU, as well as the European Convention on Human Rights (‘ECHR’), and the European Social Charter are no exception in this regard. The planned framework agreement between the EU and Switzerland and the future agreement between the EU and UK will, too, most likely be preceded by a preamble. Preambles are usually highly indeterminate, refer to a range of values and ideals, and do not establish concrete rights and obligations. Nevertheless, according to Article 31(2) of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, the preamble forms an integral part of the treaty and must be used in the interpretation of its provisions. The recitals of the preamble reveal both the telos of the treaty and the historical motives of the contracting parties. They set out intentions which have led the parties to conclude the respective treaty, and they provide information on the context out of which the treaty arose. In short, the preamble at the beginning of a treaty defines its purpose and must therefore be given due consideration in legal practice and legal scholarship. In light of the above, we invite young European law scholars to revisit the preambles of European treaties: Which missions do the preambles contain? Have the treaties lived up to what they promise in their preambles? Are Member States and international/supranational organizations on the right track to achieve the set objectives? Are preambles largely aspirational – and potentially empty – phrases? What is the significance of the changes that have been made to the preambles over time, e.g. to the Treaties of the European Union (or before the European Community) or to the ECHR? Do the preambles have to be changed to meet the new challenges of our time?

These questions can be answered in light of all European treaties and the wide range of objectives their preambles set out for their signatories, such as (but not limited to):

⎯ “confirming their attachment to the principles of liberty, democracy and respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms and of the rule of law” [TEU];

⎯ “affirming as the essential objective of their efforts the constant improvements of the living and working conditions of their peoples” [TFEU];

⎯ “considering the objective of establishing a dynamic and homogeneous European Economic Area, based on common rules and equal conditions of competition and providing for the adequate means of enforcement including at the judicial level” [EEA Agreement];

⎯ “affirming that the High Contracting Parties, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, have the primary responsibility to secure the rights and freedoms defined in this Convention and the Protocols thereto, and that in doing so they enjoy a margin of appreciation, subject to the supervisory jurisdiction of the European Court of Human Rights established by this Convention” [new recital of the ECHR according to Protocol No 15];

⎯ “being resolved to make every effort in common to improve the standard of living and to promote the social well-being of both their urban and rural populations by means of appropriate institutions and action” [European Social Charter].

Submission

We invite young European law scholars to submit (1) an anonymised abstract (max. 600 words) and (2) a short CV by 15 October 2020 to yels2021@rwi.uzh.ch on any aspect of the overall topic. Contributions shall be submitted and presented in English. Applicants will be informed about the outcome of the selection process no later than 15 November 2020. If successfully selected, full papers (8,000-10,000 words, including footnotes) must then be submitted by 31 March 2021 for circulation among commentators and registered conference members. After the conference, we propose to publish a revised version of the papers, adequately taking into account the feedback received from the commentators and participants.

Conference program

The conference will take place on Thursday afternoon, 20 May 2021, and the full day on Friday, 21 May 2021. Participants will present their papers in thematic panels and receive individual feedback by senior European law scholars, followed by a plenary discussion. We are also happy to announce that on Thursday evening, Professor Juliane Kokott, Advocate General at the European Court of Justice, will give a keynote speech on the overall topic of the conference. The conference organizers plan to reimburse the travel and accommodation expenses incurred by the conference participants presenting a paper, although no guarantee can yet be provided at this stage.

Call for Papers: Migration and Culture: Implementation of Cultural Rights of Migrants

Deadline:

10/15/20

Deadline for the submission of abstracts: 15 October 2020

Deadline for the submission of accepted papers: 15 February 2021

Publication of the Volume: June-July 2021

edited by Giovanni Carlo Bruno (National Research Council of Italy), Fulvio Maria Palombino (University of Naples “Federico II”), Adriana Di Stefano (University of Catania), Gianpaolo Maria Ruotolo (University of Foggia)

The volume aims at contributing to the reflection on global cooperation in the promotion of cultural rights of migrants, including the right to participate in cultural life and to enjoy the arts, in the context of the post- COVID-19 pandemic outbreak.

Article 27 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Article 15 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights provide a basic legal framework for their protection and guarantee. As affirmed repeatedly, cultural diversity is a source of mutual enrichment for the cultural life of humankind. The full realization and recognition of cultural rights should be based on the prin- ciples of equality and non-discrimination. But the challenge to ensure cultural rights as being appli- cable to everyone is far from being won, notably when cultural rights of migrants are involved.

The volume aims at exploring questions connected to international cultural rights and human migra- tion. Legal and judicial practice on the application of internationally recognized cultural rights, and both institutional and civil society activities on the promotion and protection of migrants’ cultural rights may contribute to the ‘mainstreaming’ of cultural rights and of their implementation in the society in change, even in the social and legal context emerging from the consequences of the COVID-10 pandemic.

Human enhancement and advanced technologies have already had significant effects over the framework of terrorism and belligerency, and these effects are expected to increase rapidly in the coming years. Such effects include internal and external mechanisms such as computerized exoskeleton, advanced prostheses, and cognitive advancement.

The workshop focusses on the framework of “human enhancement and advanced technologies” technological, comparative, doctrinal, historical, philosophical, sociological and theoretical perspectives. A non-exhaustive list of possible subjects includes:

• Ethical and moral considerations of human enhancements.

• International law applicable to dealing with human enhancement and advanced technologies.

• Technological abilities and challenges with human enhancement.

• The implications of the use of advanced technologies in the battlefield or for counter- terrorism purposes.

About Gujarat Maritime University

Gujarat Maritime University (GMU) is an endeavour by Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB), the state regulator for the ports and maritime activities in Gujarat. The University has been conceived by visionaries to address the burgeoning need of skilled the workforce in the ever-changing dynamics of the maritime sector. In pursuit of creating an institution of global standards, GMU has collaborations with internationally prominent institutions like Erasmus University, STC International and many other.

Concept Note

Maritime transport is the backbone of international trade as more than 80% of global trade by volume happens through ships. Maritime workers perform an admirable service to humanity by helping in moving ships and a variety of cargo from one port to the other. Working on long-term contracts, at sea, and far away from home, seafarers have to face numerous challenges. These include issues related to repatriation, abandonment, non- payment of wages, etc. Mindful of problems faced by seafarers in international waters, some forward-looking developments have taken place in international law. Today there are many Conventions and recommendations on working conditions in the maritime transport sector which aims to achieve decent work for seafarers and to secure economic interests through fair competition for quality ship owners. Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) negotiated in the year 2006, is considered as the “fourth pillar” of International Maritime Law.

The purpose of this book is to analyze the current legal regime governing maritime workers.

Special attention will be given to the issues related to the implementation of the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006. Separate chapters will be dedicated for highlighting issues and challenges in the implementation of the Maritime Labour Convention by flag state, port state, and labour supplying states. Furthermore, the book will assess whether the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 has been successful in filling gaps in maritime labour law which were existing before its negotiation.
