Workshop on Making and Shaping the Law of Armed Conflict

The theme of this year’s workshop is “Making and Shaping the Law of Armed Conflict.” The workshop focuses on the forces, factors, and actors that make and shape the ever-developing law of armed conflict. The workshop will examine the roles of governments, militaries, NGOs, and non-state actors in interpreting and applying LOAC/IHL. Further, the workshop will look at the ways and settings in which the various actors interpret and apply LOAC/IHL: academia, training/pedagogical, and “real-world.” The workshop will also seek to consider the forces and circumstances behind, or in some cases beyond, the factors and actors which all converge to mold and morph LOAC/IHL.
