International Humanitarian Law and Emerging Challenges in Modern Conflict Zones

Principal Supervisor:

Associate Professor Shannon Bosch

Abstract

International order is built upon foundational values enshrined in international law. International humanitarian law (IHL), as a critical subset of international law, governs the conduct of armed conflicts, seeking to protect individuals who are not or no longer participating in hostilities and to regulate the means and methods of warfare. As conflicts evolve in complexity and scope, existing IHL provisions face challenges in addressing the unique legal and ethical issues posed by modern warfare, including asymmetrical conflicts, cyber warfare, and the use of autonomous weapon systems. This project proposes an in-depth examination of the efficacy of current IHL frameworks and their ability to adapt to contemporary conflict scenarios.
