Beyond Compliance Symposium – War is not skin deep – International Humanitarian Law and mental health

by | Oct 18, 2024

The following post by Samatha Holmes focuses on war’s impacts on mental health and wellbeing. She argues that the impacts are profound and pervasive, yet International Humanitarian Law (IHL) theory and practice has long overlooked them. The post was published on Armed Groups and International Law as part of the joint Articles of War and AGIL Beyond Compliance Symposium: How to Prevent Harm and Need in Conflict.
