Successes and Challenges in the Fight against Impunity

Series
Public International Law Discussion Group (Part II)
Embed
Marking the 20th Anniversary of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. Twenty years after the adoption of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, the ICC is thought to be in crisis.
Despite the many successes, including completing the institution-building process and the Court's emerging jurisprudence, the ICC is also facing a number of challenges. Universality, independence, effectiveness and efficiency, but also cooperation and the relationship with national courts have challenged the ICC’s operation to date. In light of the 20th anniversary of the Rome Statute, the lecture considers some of the Court’s achievements and reviews the above challenges affecting the fulfilment of the ICC’s mandate to end impunity.

Kellogg Urban Knowledge Exchange: Urban Public Art

Series
Kellogg College
Embed
The first multidisciplinary seminar in the Kellogg Urban Knowledge Exchange series.
Why would anyone want a fifty-metre horse in the middle of a shopping centre? Is visibility over-rated? Is it more pleasurable to accidentally turn a corner and discover an artwork?
Is it more productive to understand the city itself as a work of art? This seminar sets out to help define where and why Public Art works - working closely with its building and environmental context – and where it does not. Britain has a splendid tradition of public art but in the last 50 years has also seen some sadly inappropriate installations all over the country that have given the genre a bad name. We have asked some passionate and diverse speakers to share their knowledge, research and above all, their views on the subject.

This is the first of our series on key urban issues affecting society today.

Erik Curiel: Measure, Topology, and Probability in Cosmology.

Series
The Physics of Fine-Tuning
Embed
Erik Curiel explains the challenges in making assessments of probability by making assumptions about the space of universes--or cosmological models--that our theories allow.
Erik Curiel (Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy) explains the difficulty of making various concepts of and relating to probability precise, rigorous and physically significant when attempting to apply them in reasoning about objects (e.g., spacetimes) living in infinite-dimensional spaces, working through several examples from cosmology. He concludes that most standard forms of argument used in cosmology to estimate the likelihood of the occurrence of various properties or behaviors of spacetimes have serious mathematical, physical and conceptual problems. This lecture was conducted at the Lindeman Lecture Theatre, Clarendon Laboratory, Oxford, on October 6, 2016.

Natalja Deng: What Kind of Fine-Tuner?

Series
The Physics of Fine-Tuning
Embed
Natalja Deng discusses whether the apparent fine-tuning of the universe for life can be evidence for a divine creator.
Natalja Deng (Yonsei University) comments on two responses to the fine-tuning argument for god, namely one based on dismissive priors , and one based on a ‘God-of-the-gaps’ style objection by theistic design theorists. She suggests that the latter response amounts to a practice-based constraint on theistic conceptions, and that often, theistic conceptions that meet this constraint are vulnerable to the former objection. This lecture was conducted at the Lindeman Lecture Theatre, Clarendon Laboratory, Oxford, on October 6, 2016.
