This year's lectures cover New Zealand, Australia, and international human rights 1919-2019; the development of humanity as a constraint on the conduct of war; and climate change, the critical decade, and the rule of law. The topical section looks at at tobacco packaging from such perspectives as tobacco plain packaging and the expanding role of the World Trade Organization in regulatory oversight, and Australia's approach to investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) reform in light of Philip Morris Asia v Australia. The articles cover civil suits against foreign officials in common-law jurisdictions, and the joint development of offshore oil and gas resources in the South China Sea following the South China Sea arbitration. After a note on the effect of sea level rise on baselines and statehood, in the Western Pacific, regular sections review recent books and describe ongoing cases and treaties.
