Zuordnung im Vorlesungsverzeichnis
Letzte Änderung: Mi 30.09.2026 09:45
Topics include the principles of IHL (distinction, proportionality, military necessity, humanity); classification of conflicts (minimum prerequisites of an armed conflict, the distinction between international and non-international armed conflict); means and methods of warfare (‘Hague law’), protected groups hors de combat (‘Geneva law’); the law of occupation; implementation and enforcement of IHL; and the interrelationship of IHL with human rights law and international criminal law.
The course will be taught interactively, using a combination of lectures, case studies, and class discussions. It will examine the application of IHL in recent armed conflicts, including in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Ukraine and Israel/Palestine.
