Sixth Scottish Conference on International Law - 'ICJ at 80' Event Information The Glasgow Centre for International Law and Security (GCILS) at the University of Glasgow is organising the sixth Scottish Conference on International Law, following the conferences hosted by the University of Edinburgh in April 2019, the University of Glasgow in May 2021, the University of Aberdeen in June 2022, the University of Dundee in 2023, and the University of Stirling in September 2024.The theme is: “The International Court of Justice at 80” Organisers are eager to receive submissions from across the UK, Europe and beyond, including from postgraduate students. Proposals for panels will be considered. Theme In a collection published to mark 50 years of the International Court of Justice, Georges Abi-Saab described a series of crises that have befallen the Court since its inception. The first is the crisis relating to the Court’s failure to achieve compulsory jurisdiction due to States’ reluctance to deposit optional clause declarations (‘the decline of the optional clause’, in Waldock’s words). This crisis Abi-Saab ascribed to the influence of the Soviet Union and its allies who were suspicious of the Court’s potential to impinge upon their sovereignty. This was followed by a crisis of confidence in the Court among states who had regained sovereignty during decolonisation in the 1960s and 1970s, brought about by a general distrust in what was perceived as a Western bias in international law, epitomised by the disastrous South West Africa cases. The third crisis, perhaps somewhat paradoxically, Abi-Saab described as encompassing the concerns of Western States regarding an activist Court following the Nicaragua judgment in which the Court had found against the United States. To these ‘crises’ one could add the perceived threat to the Court’s position as the ‘World Court’ in the 1990s during the proliferation of courts and tribunals which brought with it concerns regarding the fragmentation of international law. In contrast to this crisis narrative, it appears that thirty years later, as the Court approaches its 80thanniversary, we are living through what one of the busiest periods for the Court. Not only has the Court’s docket been consistently full for a number of years, the Court is also now being tasked with hearing cases related to fundamentally important, even existential issues, such as the use of force, genocide and the effects of man-made climate change. States are not only consistently bringing important cases to the Court, they are utilising various different facets of its jurisdiction, including most notably its incidental and advisory jurisdictions. That said, dissatisfaction with the outcome of the high-profile cases before the Court could very easily lead to the next crisis to add to Abi-Saab’s list.

This 1.5 hour workshop will cover what to expect from newborn sleep in the first few months, what is biologically normal and what you can do to make life easier for yourself and set your little one up with good sleep habits from the start. This workshop is not about telling you what you "should do" or intended to add more stress and worry to your already overwhelmed plate. It's about setting realistic expectations, providing reassurance and supporting you to make sense of the inevitable chaos of those early weeks. Come along and spend the morning with me, a certified infant sleep consultant, registered nurse and mum of two. Tell me all your sleep worries and ask all the questions. Chat to other mums at a similar stage to you and enjoy a hot drink and pastry treat at the same time.You will even get a little self care goodie bag to take home. This workshop is aimed at pregnant and post partum ladies from 28 weeks pregnant to 12 weeks postpartum. Information Source: Wee Sleepy Ones | eventbrite

Legal and Policy Approaches to the Use of Public Assets in Scotland and Japan Kume Hideyo is an Associate Professor at the College of Business Administration and Information Science at Chubu University, Japan. She is a socio-legal property scholar and a visiting researcher at the University of Strathclyde, where she is studying community rights of acquisition in Scotland This presentation examines the legal frameworks governing the use of public assets in Scotland and Japan, with particular attention to the mechanisms that enable community involvement. It also considers how to achieve an appropriate legal balance to ensure the sustainable operation of such initiatives. In Japan, a key recent development is the 2024 amendment to the Local Autonomy Act, which introduced the Designated Regional Collaborative Activity Organization scheme. Unlike the existing Designated Manager System, which is positioned as a private sector utilisation model, the new system adopts a resident-led community management approach. Once recognised as such an organisation, the group becomes eligible to lease administrative property. The details of this system are left to the discretion of local governments, and many local authorities are currently discussing the introduction of local ordinances to implement it. In Scotland, a unified legal framework for community use of public assets has been established through Part 5 (Asset Transfer) of the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015. Communities that submit proposals to local authorities have many opportunities to receive support for asset acquisition or negotiation from various institutions, such as the Community Ownership Support Service, the Scottish Land Fund, and Community Land Scotland. Including private consultants, Scotland in my view has a well-developed support system, which helps to reduce the risks associated with asset transfers. Regarding rules for protecting assets upon dissolution, such as clawback clauses, these are generally applied with restraint. Scottish Land Fund grants are discretionary, and the Fund reserves the right not to support projects where the conditions on the sale or transfer do not align with the guidance. For example, time limits for imposing conditions apply, and clawbacks are restricted to the monetary value of the discount offered by the seller. While Japan relies primarily on leases and outsourcing contracts to enable community and private sector involvement in the management of public assets, Scotland offers a wider range of options. Despite these differences, comparing the legal mechanisms used in both countries to ensure the stable operation of these systems provides valuable insights into the relevant issues and challenges.

Good ventilation is essential for healthy, comfortable, and resilient buildings—but as mechanical systems become more dominant, it's critical to ask: are we designing for long-term wellbeing, or creating new dependencies? This event explores why ventilation matters—not just for compliance or technical performance, but for occupant health, comfort, and the psychological benefits of environmental control. As buildings increasingly rely on mechanical systems, understanding building physics, material choices, and passive design strategies becomes more important than ever. Through case studies and discussion, we’ll demonstrate how to design for indoor air quality while considering flexibility as well as ethics. We’ll look at how passive and natural ventilation, and low-impact construction materials can support both regulatory standards and 'passive survivability'—the ability for buildings to remain safe and comfortable during power outages or emergencies. The session will highlight practical examples from engineering and architectural practice, with a focus on avoiding 'eco-bling' and prioritising real, long-term benefits for occupants. Participants are invited to bring project-specific questions for open discussion. Our speakers: Janice Foster , Chartered Engineer and researcher specialising in building performance evaluation (BPE) at MEARU, GSA. Richard Atkins , Chartered Architect who has designed sustainable buildings and advised clients, government and stakeholders for over 40 years. Sandy Halliday , Chartered Engineer, who has worked in building research, training, policy guidance and as project advisor for local and national government and private clients for over 30 years. Sam Foster , Net Zero Leader at NatureScot, Architect with strong interest in beautiful, low energy architecture constructed from non-toxic materials to create healthy environments. Jessica Noel-Smith , Chartered Architect, Founder of Beyond Access, PhD Researcher at University of Stirling and Associate at Dementia Services Development Centre (DSDC). Discussion will be facilitated by Magdalena Blazusiak , who is the current Vice-chair of SEDA, Chartered Architectural Technologist, lecturer and PhD researcher at RGU, with interest in human centric retrofit supporting health and wellbeing. WHERE: Reid Building, Glasgow Schol of Art, Principal Seminar Room 1 – Ground floor and online WHEN: 18th September at 5.30pm for 6pm start (6pm-8pm) Please let us know your access and dietary requirements. Donation box will be provided for the food and drink. There will also be a Q&A, a Discussion and an opportunity to Network at the event. The event will be hosted in a hybrid format.

"The Sea" is a new environmental strand within IberoDocs, bringing together four powerful short films by women filmmakers that reflect on our complex relationship with the ocean and coastal life. Our journey begins with Hello Sea! by María Goya Barquet, a poetic and personal documentary that explores what the sea is, for a person who has never seen it. With Blow! by Neus Ballús, poetry is merged with reality, as we follow a research team and the singing of the whales. The animated lines of Percebes by Laura Gonçalves carry us to the Portuguese coast and the social and ecological cycles surrounding one of the ocean’s most prized delicacies, while Spirits & Rocks: an Azorean Myth by Aylin Gökmen captures the deep emotional and geological tremors of life on a volcanic island. Together, they form a resonant chorus—stories of memory, longing, survival, and transformation—each uniquely anchored by the voices and visions of women. In collaboration with DocNomads. All films shown with HOH captions. Followed by Filmmaker Q&A (With BSL interpretation) & Live Music. Information Source: IberoDocs | eventbrite
