This is the 8th in our series on current topics in international humanitarian law, sponsored by the Lieber Society of the American Society of International Law and Co-Sponsored by the D.C. Bar International Law Community. Our distinguished panelists will discuss the Israeli choice of targets in "the Iran episode" (nuclear plants, scientists, Communication center), the responsibility to protect access to food, or the right to food under Article 25 under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the Iranian use of missiles aimed towards civilian areas and the involvement of the United States. In addition, the panelists will discuss the ongoing documentation of atrocities committed in Ukraine. Drawing on precedent such as the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, panelists will consider the likelihood and potential nature of international prosecutions under international humanitarian law in the future for acts committed during the Ukrainian-Russian conflict, as well as conflicts in the Middle East. Given the speed of developments in these conflicts, the panel will address questions that arise, and will, as always, welcome audience questions.

Panelists:

• Cody Corliss, West Virginia University College of Law
• Shiri Krebs, Deakin University
• Leila Sadat, University of Washington School of Law
• Omar Shakir, Human Rights Watch
