From peace to war and back

This collection of contributions, authored by renowned international experts and practitioners, is based on presentations delivered at the Sanremo Round Table. It examines some of the most complex and significant aspects of implementing International Humanitarian Law (IHL). The Conference aimed to explore the role of IHL in preventing and mitigating the effects of armed conflicts, as well as in negotiating their resolution. It also examined how, and to what extent, compliance with existing IHL rules and principles during hostilities can significantly contribute to building sustainable peace in post-conflict societies. The event brought together academics, legal advisors, humanitarian actors, senior military officers, and diplomats for a series of formative high-level panels.
