1. 21st Lucinda Lecture \u2013 \u201cOf lions and squeaking mice in anxious times\u201d<\/span><\/h3>\n


\nBy Emeritus Professor H P Lee<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nFrom time to time most countries will encounter threats to the security of the state polity, ranging from a wartime situation to the contemporary terror threats.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nExtraordinary legislation is often resorted to as a means of protecting public safety. Such legislation inevitably draws the courts into the spotlight. Perilous times present the courts with a dilemma. This lecture seeks to canvass that dilemma and the lessons that can be learnt from past judicial experience in Australia and some selected jurisdictions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n3. The Castan Centre for Human Rights Law\/King & Wood Mallesons Annual Lecture<\/span><\/h3>\n

Death by Algorithm – the advent of “killer robots” by Professor Christof Heyns<\/span><\/p>\n

Public event – all welcome<\/span><\/p>\n

Professor Christof Heyns, UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The use of force, in war and in peace, is increasingly impersonal. Unmanned systems are here to stay. <\/span><\/p>\n

We have become all too familiar with the first generation of these unmanned systems: remotely piloted aircraft. Here the human is no longer necessarily physically present on the battlefield. An operator half-way around the world presses the button and a Hellfire missile is released from an armed drone. At the same time a further generation of unmanned systems is emerging, where human beings will not only be physically absent from the delivery of force, but also pshycologically, in the sense that computers and not humans will take the final decision on its release.<\/span><\/p>\n

This development raises far-reaching legal and ethical questions. How good will they be at targeting? But also – should they be allowed to do this? Right to life and issues of dignity arise. But – does it really matter what we think about it? Have we not entered a new era where machines will take the important decisions?<\/span><\/p>\n

Date:<\/span> Friday 9 October, 2015<\/span><\/p>\n

Time:<\/span> 1.00pm – 2.00pm<\/span><\/p>\n

Venue:<\/span> The State Library at 328 Swanston Street, Melbourne<\/span><\/p>\n

RSVP: <\/span>castan.centre@monash.edu or phone 03 9905 3327<\/span><\/p>\n
