Written Assignment

<p>New emerging global powers and the changing landscape of armed conflict present new and complex challenges to the customary nature of international humanitarian law and its protection framework. Rules that were designed to protect vulnerable groups not taking part in hostilities, as well as defining combatants and non-combatants have become stretched and challenged.  Building on the foundational principles laid down in the Geneva Conventions, you will learn about the laws of war and the use of force between states as well as non-state actors, the implementation of international humanitarian law and consider the essential questions around belligerent occupation.</p>
