The 2nd international CRCL: Computational ‘law’ on Edge conference organised by COHUBICOL in collaboration with CRCL has launched its 2023 Call for Abstracts. We seek in-depth analyses that address both the potential and the challenges of computational ‘law’. We are seeking internal critiques in both law and CS, to ensure a grounded conversation across disciplinary boundaries. In line with the ethos of the COHUBICOL project, we particularly welcome analyses that take a normative position as to adherence to key rule of law ‘requirements’, notably concerning (1) the checks and balances between the powers of the state, (2) practical and effective enjoyment of human rights and (3) resilience against instrumentalization against big players, whether public or private. Before submitting, we advise checking out the conference ethos and visiting the COHUBICOL and CRCL websites to check the scope of the domain.

Postdoctoral researcher Gianmarco Gori gave a lecture in the context of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie COFUND Action “imπACT” training programme. Gori’s presentation addressed the distinctions, relationship and interaction between ethics, code and law. In a broad sense, law, ethics and code can all be said to “regulate”. However, they do so in different ways. In the first part of the session, based on several chapters from Law for Computer Scientists and Other Folk, Gori has discussed how law, ethics and code have a different force and how, in turn, such force can have a different impact on the protection of legal rights and liberties. The participants to the session were invited to reflect on “what law does” and how this affords a distinctive form of protection. Together with the participants, Gori sought to identify the boundaries between law, code and ethics by discussing the way in which law sustains the tensions between the values of certainty, justice and purpose. In the second part of the session, the participants were invited to work in groups and engage in the analysis of a “hard case”-study, putting to test the conceptual distinctions drawn.

COHUBICOL is organising an event on 24 March 2023 on Prof. Fleur Johns’ new book #Help: Digital Humanitarianism and the Remaking of International Order (OUP, 2023). Coming out this spring, the new work presents a study of ‘digital humanitarianism’ and how these practices will impact international politics and international law. In #Help, Johns engages in an in-depth analysis of how digitalization presents challenges as well as opportunities for the humanitarian field. The book seeks to unearth, explicate, and critically assess the implicit yet omnipresent reconfigurations that digital interfaces present us with in the context of humanitarian work. However, unquestionably, the book’s relevance stretches far beyond the humanitarian field and goes right to the heart of the international order, both present and future. Discussing this timely work will be Dr. Delphine Dogot, whose expertise and research will make for an enriching and interesting discussion.
