  Mixed arbitral tribunals, 1919–1930

  An experiment in the international adjudication of private rights

  The creation of a system of Mixed Arbitral Tribunals (MATs) was a major contribution of the post-WWI peace treaties to the development of international adjudication. Numerically speaking, the 36 MATs were undoubtedly the busiest international courts of the interwar period. Taken together, they decided on more than 70,000 cases, mostly covering private rights. The MATs are similarly remarkable from a procedural point of view. First, their respective rules of procedure were so detailed that contemporaries described them as 'miniature civil procedure codes'. Second, in a departure from most other international courts and tribunals, they also allowed individuals whose rights were at stake to become involved in the proceedings before them.

  New perspectives on maternity

  Comparative approaches - sciences and literature

  Ce cycle de séminaire est l’occasion de faire dialoguer humanités et sciences autour de ce que le concept de maternité implique tant au niveau des pratiques qu’à celui des représentations, de manière à déconstruire les discours traditionnels qui s’articulent autour de normalité / anormalité. Il s’agira d’explorer, au-delà de tout système d’opposition, les grands topoï liés à la maternité : le fait de donner naissance, la maternité à travers les âges, les corps des femmes et l’allaitement, la maternité et l’éthique, la violence des mères et l’homoparentalité féminine.
