Two Special Sites for International Law
The U.N. has created an Audiovisual Library of International Law. You can find a list of the available lectures here. A good start for exploring the series might be Ruth Wedgwood’s lecture "Human Rights Bodies - Introduction" (37 minutes, no transcript)
In addition to lectures from the last few years, the site also has historic archives -- for instance discussion on the Draft Convention on Genocide at Paris, 9 December 1948 (10 min 44 sec, no transcript).
The webside of The European Journal of International Law (EJIL) has something they call EJIL: Live! The latest addition is an extended "Fireside Chat" between the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal, Professor Joseph Weiler and Professor Jan Klabbers of the University of Helsinki, whose article "The Transformation of International Organizations Law", appears in Volume 26, Issue 1 of the review. 37 min, no transcript.

The Effectiveness of International Law
The University of Chicago Law School has posted video and audio recordings of a November 2014 talk in their "Chicago's Best Ideas" lecture series. Adam Chilton speaks about "Why We Know Very Little About the Effectiveness of International Law, and How Experiments Might Help to Change That". Chilton gives an interesting presentation of how to construct research experiments in social sciences. 38 min. of Chilton then 20 min. of questions, no transcript, but a short article about the talk is available. Very interesting.
