The seminar and the simulation game are cancelled.
From 12 to 14 March 2020, the College of Europe in Natolin organizes, in cooperation with the International Committee of the Red Cross, a two-and-a-half day Introductory Seminar on International Humanitarian Law for students, researchers and practitioners.
The aim of this seminar is to familiarize participants with new and emerging challenges that the international community is confronted with in the domain of Humanitarian Protection and Assistance in times of armed conflicts.
Professor Elżbieta MIKOS-SKUZA (University of Warsaw, College of Europe) and other practitioners of Law and EU Affairs will address highly-discussed issues related to the workings of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and the links between the European Union and IHL.
