    The Informer, the newsletter of ILRIG, was not published in 2020, the year of the pandemic and ASIL first virtual Annual Meeting; we had our featured program on Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights, but no Business Meeting, so activities for that year are summarized in this issue's Annual Report.

  • ICRC CIHLD receives inaugural Jus Gentium Award

    The Selection Committee has unanimously chosen the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Customary International Humanitarian Law Database as the first recipient of the ASIL ILRIG Jus Gentium Research Award.

    The Customary IHL Database, launched in 2010, is a free, digitized, and updated version of the oft-cited 2005 comprehensive, landmark three-volume ICRC study of customary international humanitarian law originally published by Cambridge University Press. The database is an exceptionally well-structured, easy-to-navigate, and indispensable research tool frequently used by international law practitioners and scholars. It contains customary international humanitarian law rules, with commentary, in multiple languages (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, Spanish). A second part of the database describes, in English, national practices under the rules. A link from the Customary IHL Database to the ICRC's Treaty Database and National Implementation Database provides access to full texts of primary law sources.

    It has been ten years since the ICRC’s ground-breaking study, and 2015 is the fifth anniversary of the launch of the Customary IHL Database. The ICRC’s Customary International Humanitarian Law Database is a well-deserved recipient of the first Jus Gentium Research Award.
