About the Bootcamp

In an era marked by pivotal geopolitical tensions, armed and non-armed conflicts, the heightened relevance of humanitarian law has never been more pronounced. Incidents such as Russian-invasion of Ukraine, the ongoing war between Israel-Hamas, military coups across various regions, greyzone tactics, the role of UNSC etc. underline the relevance of principles governing the norms of war and their pivotal role in shaping the world dynamics.

In a series of lectures ranging over a week, the bootcamp on Contemporary challenges in Humanitarian Law and Law of Armed Conflict delves into the heart of international legal frameworks shaping today’s global dynamics. The course covers both theoretical foundations and their application to current real-world scenarios providing an opportunity to explore existing legal frameworks from the lens of ongoing world events.

Participants will explore subjects such as the application of humanitarian law in the Israel- Hamas war, the legality of grey zone dynamics, the role of lawfare, role of mediation in current conflicts among others, delivered by relevant experts in the field.
