When does a private security company become a mercenary army? Although mercenaries are prohibited by international law, many state actors continue to rely on the availability of "guns for hire" as a means of pursuing their international interests without the entrenchment that official military involvement involves. In this short film, Dr Chaloka Beyani talks about how shrinking military ranks has led to the rise of private security companies, and where these de facto "mercenary armies" fit within international law. Dr Beyani is Senior Lecturer in International Law in the Law Department, a member of the Centre for the Study of Human Rights and Chair of its Advisory Board, and a member of the Centre for Climate Change at LSE. He is also the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights of Internally Displaced Persons. He joined the Department of Law at LSE in 1996 and lectures in international law and human rights. He was formerly a Research Fellow at Wolfson college, Oxford, with Lectureships in Law at Exeter and St. Catherine's colleges, Oxford, and a Crown Prince of Jordan Fellow, Queen Elizabeth House, as part of the Refugee Studies Centre, Oxford.Contributor(s): Dr Chaloka Beyani | When does a soldier become a mercenary?

In this short film, Professor Chetan Bhatt and Dr Hakan Seckinelgin, both of LSE, discuss how the new Europe calls for a new conception of the European social space. As open borders within Europe change our sense of what it means to be a migrant, new - and troubling - definitions of "European" are emerging.Contributor(s): Professor Chetan Bhatt, Dr Hakan Seckinelgin | The Dahrendorf Symposium takes place 9-10 November 2011 in Berlin.

'One of the remarkable features of a successful institution such as LSE's Department of Law is that... most of the colleagues are teaching stuff of which they are a part and that makes for good teaching at university level,' he argues, as the video follows him from lecture theatre to Matrix Chambers, where he is a founding member and practising barrister. Raised in Ireland, his family was 'extremely involved in both sides of the fight for Irish freedom', and he developed an early interest in human rights and the power of teaching. 'The main thing that makes a teacher a good teacher across any level of education is interest in the person being taught - whether it's a four year old, a fourteen year old or a 24 year old,' he says.Contributor(s): Professor Conor Gearty, Adam Sandell, Heather Rogers QC, Eno Alfred | In the first of an initial series of three videos, Professor Conor Gearty, professor of law and head of human rights at LSE, talks of his passion for teaching - and what makes teaching at LSE so special.
