Volume 8(2) of the Melbourne Journal of International Law dedicated to issues in International Humanitarian Law was recently launched by Dean of the Melbourne Law School, Professor Michael Crommelin and Professor Tim McCormack.
This symposium celebrates the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the Australian Red Cross Chair of International Humanitarian Law at the Melbourne Law School.
The edition includes nine ‘think pieces’ designed to encourage discussion and debate on present challenges and future developments in International Humanitarian Law. The think pieces are complemented by a collection of case notes, commentaries and book reviews dedicated to International Humanitarian Law. Contributors to the symposium have focused on four broad themes: before war, events that occur during war, the aftermath of war, and law’s response to war.
