International humanitarian law (IHL) is one of the oldest fields of conventional international law. At the same time, several current international and non-international conflicts around the world prove the practical relevance of IHL and demand a solid understanding of its specific legal framework and underlying principles. This course provides an in-depth overview of IHL. We will look at, among others, the historical development, the classification of conflicts, the core principles, and the various actors in the law of armed conflict. In addition, we will address current challenges posed by new technologies of warfare and discuss the interaction of IHL with other fields of public international law.
