About Prof. C. H. Alexandrowicz Memorial Lecture Series

Prof. Alexandrowicz has played a phenomenal role in the development of international law in India. In 1951 Prof. Alexandrowicz was appointed Professor of International and Constitutional Law at the University of Madras. He explored the history of international law in Asia and established the Indian Yearbook of International Affairs. This Memorial Lecture series is a befitting tribute to the extraordinary legal luminary, who is now largely forgotten by the modern-age scholars of International Law and History in India.

The first lecture of the series was delivered on by Dr. Carl Landauer on ‘C.H. Alexandrowicz, India, and the Excavation of International Law’. The second lecture of the series will be delivered by Prof. M. Sornarajah.
