War Law - LAWS587
The maintenance of international peace and security is one of the driving aims of the international legal order. International law seeks to both prevent, and when that is not possible, regulate the conduct of armed conflict. This unit will consider this role of international law, examining the nature of armed conflict and the role of international humanitarian law and international criminal law in providing a framework to address contemporary challenges during armed conflict, including the protection of civilians, the status and treatment of combatants, the protection of the environment and cultural heritage, and the pursuit of peace.
