Abstract:	The 2017 Sir Eli Lauterpacht Lecture 'A return to the Caroline Correspondence, 1838-1842'' will return to, and provide a holistic appreciation, of the Caroline correspondence, which lasted between January 1838 and August 1842. Setting the full set of exchanges between the United States and United Kingdom in their proper political and social context, the lecture will concentrate on the meaning and function of the principles of necessity and proportionality as developed for the framework governing the exercise of the right of self-defence in international law. After providing this ‘reading’ of the correspondence, the lecture will then offer a critical account—or ‘rereading’—of the correspondence from the perspective of the relevant jurisprudence of the International Court of Justice, interrogating the state and nature of the relationship between the Caroline principles and the law on self-defence as set down in the Charter of the United Nations.
