On 18 October, Professor Philippe Sands QC spoke with Professor Dame Hazel Genn about his new book聽East West Street聽in a private event for the 新香港六合彩开奖结果Laws Community at Wilkins Gustave Tuck Lecture Theatre.

Professor Dame Hazel Genn鈥檚 introduction was followed by a Q&A session from the public.

Professor Philippe Sands QC said:

鈥業 was delighted to open the new academic year with an event on home ground at UCL, in conversation with Dean Genn, with so many students, staff and faculty present. 新香港六合彩开奖结果and the Faculty of Law have provided amazing support over the six years of writing East West Street, for which I am hugely grateful.鈥�

Samantha Williams, PhD student, attended the event and shared a few thoughts:

鈥極ne of the highlights of the event was the fact that the familial elements and personal context interwoven both through the book and the discussion. I thought this was fascinating because it鈥檚 very rare that a legal academic can be so personal in his writing and when speaking in public.

My classmates and I were thrilled to hear Professor Sands talking about the many, innumerable coincidences that he discovered when researching and indeed writing the book. He highlighted the fact that the book was in essence a tale of 鈥渢hree men, two legal norms and one city,鈥� but that this 鈥渦northodox academic project鈥� was 鈥渂ookended with his own grandfather鈥檚 story and remarkable coincidences.鈥�

Professor Sands said that this idea of family is at the heart of the book and key to the central themes and analysis of the two norms of genocide and crimes against humanity in which the underlying questions are always: 鈥渨ho am I? Am I an individual, am I a group? Why does this matter?鈥�

One of the questions that most resonated with me and, I believe with Professor Sands, was how he thought his grandfather might receive the book if he was still alive. Sands replied that he hoped positively, as his mother had done so.鈥�
