Academy Lecture Series

This series of lectures focus on various aspects of international law in times of armed conflict – an area of particular interest for the Academy.

An expert for each of the specific areas of law delivers a public Lecture in Geneva. The expert will then develop his or her analysis in a chapter for the Oxford Handbook due for publication in 2012. The Oxford Handbook of International Law in Armed Conflict will be published by Oxford University Press. This series of conferences began in 2008 with contributions from well-known jurists including Professors Antonio Cassese, Theodor Meron and Georges Abi-Saab.
