A Reflexive Concept of Law: International Law’s Legality

Speaker: Prof Shun Kaku (Waseda Univeristy, Faculty of Law)

Chair: Prof George Letsas, Professor of Philosophy of Law (UCL Laws)

About the Seminar:

The paper proposes a reflexive concept of law to resolve the long-standing legal-philosophical question of whether international law is law. Many legal philosophers, including HLA Hart, have doubted its legality or treated it as a marginal instance, even though most international lawyers regard it as law.
