The School of Law has appointed two professors of international law.

Jean d'Aspremont, who has just started at Manchester, will be joined by Iain Scobbie in September.

Professor d'Aspremontis was Editor-in-Chief of the Leiden Journal of International Law and acted as counsel in proceedings before the International Court of Justice.

Professor Scobbie is on the International Advisory Council of Diakonia's International Humanitarian Law Programme and a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the European Journal of International Law.

Professor d'Aspremont said: “Besides creating postgraduate taught programmes, we want to create a buzz in the area of international law.

“Our aim to make Manchester one of the world’s leading centres in this important area of study and research.”
