Geneva Academy Talks
ICRC
It goes without saying that, while its conventional and customary rules remain as relevant as ever to protect those affected by armed conflict, implementation of and respect for international humanitarian law (IHL) continues to be a critical challenge.
This online IHL Talk aims at shining light on the various ways of promoting respect for and implementation of international humanitarian law. In addition to tackling theoretical questions on the scope of common article 1 to the Geneva Conventions of 1949, the discussion will also touch upon states’ engagement, while seating on the Security Council or by voluntarily reporting on the implementation of IHL.
This IHL Talk will take place online on the platform Zoom.

The IHL Talks are a series of events, hosted by the Geneva Academy, on international humanitarian law and current humanitarian topics. Every two months, academic experts, practitioners, policymakers and journalists discuss burning humanitarian issues and their regulation under international law.
Our Head of Research and Policy Studies, Dr Erica Harper, spoke at a United Nations Economic and Social Council panel on June 16th, focused on Humanitarian Aid Under Siege.
The Geneva Academy has launched a practice-oriented course designed to equip our Master of Advanced Studies students with skills in open-source research and legal analysis under international humanitarian law.
