International Humanitarian Law Principles – Ep. 6

Please join us for our 6th webinar in the Lieber Society Series of expert discussions on international humanitarian law. This panel of experts will discuss current issues arising in international humanitarian law, including obligations for the protection of civilians during armed conflicts and decision-making authority in the chain of command; What is the history and role of the international Criminal Court (ICC) in investigation and enforcement of international humanitarian law? And what are the ICC and UN Independent International Commission's authorities in the context of the Geneva Conventions and customary international law? Has there been a shift in investigative responsibility and authority for enforcement of international humanitarian law away from individual states? In addition, the panel will take up the question of how the principles of international humanitarian law are to be applied to the use of artificial intelligence in armed conflicts. Audience questions will be invited in the last part of the webinar.
