On 24-25 November 2013, the Minerva Center for Human Rights (of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem), together with the ICRC Delegation in Israel and the Territories, will organise for the 8th year running a conference on a current issue of international humanitarian law/the law of armed conflict. This year’s topic is “Military Objectives and Objects of War: An Uneasy Relationship”.
The Center has published this call for papers.
Having had the pleasure of presenting a paper at earlier editions of this conference twice, I can really recommend anyone to send in a proposal. The conferences are very well organised and benefit from excellent local experts, and have attracted a great level of participants. The location makes for a very interesting backdrop for the discussions and debates.
