IBA War Crimes Committee Conference 2025: Law on the frontlines
5 Apr 2025
Session information
Law on the frontlines: documenting and defending humanity in hostilities
Saturday 5 April (1200 - 1315)
Description
While wars rage, populations are displaced in eye-watering numbers, and people fight for survival in the harshest of conditions. Ordinary citizens continue to go to extraordinary lengths to document what is happening around them. Doctors and lawyers strive to work as healthcare systems are decimated and legal institutions obliterated. We hear directly from those who have been on the frontline, and those seeking to ensure that these efforts are optimised, and not wasted.
