Description :
From 9 September to 7 October 2020, the International Institute of Humanitarian Law (IIHL) and the ICRC jointly organized the 43rd Sanremo Round Table on the theme "New Dimensions and Challenges of Urban Warfare," marking the 50th anniversary of the IIHL.
The Round Table, which brought together various high-level international experts and practitioners, provided a forum for lively debates on some of the contemporary challenges that urban warfare poses to international humanitarian law (IHL). The discussions addressed these challenges from different perspectives – legal, military, humanitarian, and architectural. They offered insights from various contexts, illustrating the diversity of urban warfare today. What emerged clearly from these rich and fruitful discussions is that when fighting moves into cities, civilians as well as civilian infrastructure and services are often the first casualties.
Event organized at the ICRC headquarters by the Law & Policy Outreach Unit.
