Customary International Humanitarian Law: Assessing The Impact Of The 2005 ICRC Report

Event Information
Thursday, November 08 2007
Washington, DC

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the Washington College of Law at American University, and the American Society of International Law cordially invite you to join a panel discussion about customary international humanitarian law. Jean-Marie Henckaerts, co-author of Customary International Humanitarian Law published by the ICRC in 2005 will be the keynote speaker. The panel also includes Ashley Deeks, Visiting Fellow, Center for Strategic and International Studies and International Affairs Fellow, Council on Foreign Relations; and Dr. Gary Solis, Law of Armed Conflict Expert, Georgetown University Law Center.

The discussion will access the recent ICRC study that codified customary international law. The 5,000-page study identifies 161 rules of customary international humanitarian law that include legal protection for persons affected by armed conflict. Discussants will evaluate the acceptance of the study by the international legal community and how the compilation adds to the legal landscape.
