The High Commission of India in London on Friday (June 5, 2026) issued a statement condemning the disruption caused at an event addressed by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant during his ongoing visit to the U.K. Kant was addressing a lecture entitled ‘Artificial Intelligence and International Law’ at Birkbeck, University of London, on Thursday (June 4, 2026), which was followed by an audience interaction.
The event explored the growing relationship between artificial intelligence, legal systems and international governance, examining both the opportunities and challenges AI presents for the future of justice and global regulation.
“A lively discussion followed his address.
Thereafter, a certain individual tried to disrupt the event,” reads the Indian High Commission statement, released on social media.
“Such indecorous audience behaviour is unacceptable and inconsistent with respectful engagement that should govern public discourse.
