will focus on

"The New Character of Warfare and International Humanitarian Law:
adapting to Complexity and Emerging Challenges"

(tentative title)

This year, the flagship event of the Institute will be held at Villa Ormond, Sanremo (Italy), on 9-11 September in a hybrid format, with live broadcasting online.

This edition of the Round Table, as usual featuring high-level international experts and practitioners from all over the world, will examine the challenges arising from the combination of traditional and modern methods of warfare in international and non-international armed conflicts. The discussions will delve into the necessity for IHL to keep pace with these dynamic operational environments through doctrinal and procedural innovations, the adaptation of human and technological capabilities, and a renewed commitment to integrating legal, ethical and operational considerations into every stage of military training and practice.
