Busuttil was born in New York in 1958. He is the eldest child of Joseph M. and Pauline Busuttil. He is of Maltese ancestry. He grew up in the Jamaica Estates neighborhood of Queens, New York.
Busuttil attended Regis High School in New York City from 1972 to 1976. At graduation, he received the New York State Regents Scholarship[8] and the New York State Governor's Citation.
Busuttil attended New York University School of Law from 1979 to 1982 to study for the Juris Doctor (J.D.). There, he focused his studies on public international law, taking almost all the postgraduate courses available at that time for the Master of Law (LL.M.) in International Law.[10] For his grades in these LL.M. courses, he was awarded the Clyde W. Eagleton[11] Graduate Award in International Law in spite of being a J.D. student. In addition, at graduation, he was awarded the Order of the Coif, which N.Y.U. School of Law awards to no more than the top 10 of its graduates each year. While still a student, in July 1982 he published his first scholarly article, an analysis of the Bonn Declaration on International Terrorism.[12]
Law practice
During his legal career, Busuttil has advised seven governments:
Busuttil joined the U.S. Department of State's Office of the Legal Adviser in 1982. He was appointed an Attorney-Adviser in the Office of the Assistant Legal Adviser for Law Enforcement and Intelligence Affairs (L/LEI).[18] He acted as the legal counsel to the Office for Combatting Terrorism,[19] coordinated the Department of State position on reform of the U.S. federal criminal code, negotiated international extradition treaties, in particular with Switzerland, where he was Head of Delegation, Italy and Jamaica, and supervised extradition cases.
With colleagues from Shearman & Sterling, Busuttil was a founder of Porter & Travers, a boutique law firm specializing in representing banks as lenders. He represented banks and financial institutions based in the United States and other countries, such as Citibank and Rabobank, in private sector financing of domestic and international projects. After he left, Porter & Travers was acquired, to become the New York City branch of King & Spalding.
His DPhil thesis, "Naval Weapons Systems and the Contemporary Law of War: Selected Topics”, was awarded the 1996 Dasturzada Dr. Jal Pavry Memorial Prize for best Doctoral or Master’s thesis in Law, Modern History or Social Studies on a subject in the area of international peace and understanding. An edited and updated version was later published by Clarendon Press, the imprint for Oxford University Press publications of particular academic importance.[25] This work sold out its 400-copy press-run, which is unusual for academic books.[26][27] It remains available as a print on demand title. This book was cited by the United States in its submission[28][29] to the International Court of Justice in the Oil Platforms case.
From Oxford, Busuttil joined the Human Rights Centre[31] of the Department of Law of the University of Essex in 1992. There he organized and taught graduate seminars in economic, social and cultural human rights and in the international law of armed conflict, and created the world's first human rights Practicum, which introduced human rights graduate students to the practical issues of human rights work, including running an NGO, fact-finding and missions, country reports and individual applications.[32] Busuttil was Faculty Adviser to the World Championship Team in the Concours Jean Pictet du Droit Humanitaire[33] in 1993.
While at the I.S.S., he wrote the first article on the legal regulation of cyberwar[39] and an article on how to effectively respond to religious fundamentalism,[40] and edited two books, Bridge or Barrier: Religion, Violence and Visions for Peace[41] and The Freedom to Do God's Will: Religious Fundamentalism and Social Change.[42]
International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia
For more than ten years starting in 2004, Busuttil was Director[44] of the University of London Postgraduate Laws Program.[45] He was responsible for the setting up, development, delivery and management of the Masters of Law (LL.M.), Postgraduate Diploma (PG Dip.) in Law and Postgraduate Certificate (PG Cert.) in Law, offered via the University of London's International Programs. Busuttil provided academic direction and leadership (including the recruitment of course study guide authors and the creation of appropriate quality assurance mechanisms), took strategic decisions in relation to the delivery of this postgraduate Program, developed marketing strategies and coordinated 60 courses and 3,000 students in more than 150 countries.
Busuttil was Rapporteur of the first and only officially sanctioned human rights mission to the Soviet Union, sponsored by Helsinki Watch in January and February 1989. He wrote the official report on that mission.[67]
Association of the Bar of the City of New York mission to Uganda
Busuttil was appointed a Member of the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) in 2007 by Malta. The PCA is the oldest international tribunal in the world, created at the Hague Peace Conference of 1899. Members of the PCA are individuals ‘of known competency in questions of international law, of the highest moral reputation, and disposed to accept the duties of Arbitrator’[69] who are nominated by States which are parties to the PCA treaties. Members of the Court are appointed for a term of six years, and their appointments can be renewed.[70] Busuttil's term was renewed.[71] He served for 12 years, retiring in 2019.
Boards and organizations
Busuttil has served on many voluntary boards and organizations, including:
Upon a Helm with a Wreath Argent and Gules Within a Circlet comprising Chevrons conjoined three being manifest the point of each conjoined to a Cross Azure a demi Afghan Hound Or supporting between the forepaws a Pilgrim's Staff palewise Gules Mantled Gules lined Argent
A Beehive Or within a Circlet of Bees volant outwards Azure
Busuttil was granted a coat of arms on April 8, 2013. Windsor Herald, an officer of arms of the College of Arms in London, assisted in the design of his heraldic achievement, being his arms, with motto, crest, badge and the exemplification of a standard. Busuttil's arms were granted by letters patent issued by the most senior heralds, the Kings of Arms. They act according to powers under the law of arms which makes the right to grant arms exclusively to due authority, which has, since the late medieval period, been delegated to the Kings of Arms under the personal responsibility of the Crown and all grants are therefore made under Crown authority, in that case the authority of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The design of armorial bearings must be distinct from all previous arms on record at the College.[72]
Arms:
Gules a Sword in pale Argent hilt and pommel Or and a Chain rompu in fess throughout also Or
Crest:
