Short description:

International humanitarian law (IHL) is one of the oldest fields of conventional international law. Current international and non-international conflicts around the world demonstrate the practical relevance of IHL, highlighting the need for a solid understanding of its legal framework and underlying principles. This course provides an in-depth overview of IHL. Topics covered include the classification of conflicts, the core principles, the various actors in the law of armed conflict, the means and methods of warfare, and the protection of people and objects. 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.
