Since 1985, the Law School at the University of Hull has hosted an annual lecture--the Josephine Onoh Memorial Lecture--given by a distinguished international lawyer. These annual lectures are funded by the Josephine Onoh Memorial Fund, established in 1984 by the family and friends of Josephine Onoh who was tragically killed in an air crash at Enugu, Nigeria, in November 1983.

This book contains a collection of these annual lectures. The first lecture in 1985 was given by the late Judge Taslim Elias, at that time President of the International Court of Justice.

The lectures reflect some of the most significant international concerns of the last two decades. The subjects they address include:

new trends in international law, international courts and politics

the practitioner's view of international law

international law and revolution

the European Convention of Human Rights

European Community law concepts

the global environment and international law

the current role of the United Nations

international environmental trust funds

international boundary law

international law and imperialism

humanitarian intervention.
