Publication of the Proceedings of the 45th Sanremo Round Table

The 45^th Round Table on current issues of international humanitarian law, jointly organised by the Institute and the International Committee of the Red Cross, was held in Sanremo and online from 7^th to 9^th September 2022.

The Round Table, with the participation of high-level international experts and practitioners, investigated some of the crucial issues regarding the application of IHL in post-conflict situations, by examining the lessons learned from recent operations, as well as the legal, military and humanitarian issues experienced during post-conflict transitions. This included, among other key aspects, the legal responsibility of military and humanitarian practitioners towards the civilian population; the challenges related to the evacuation of non-combatants from conflict areas and the legal status of evacuated civilians; the issue of the responsibility of governments and individuals towards refugees and IDPs; the disarmament and infrastructure reconstruction processes.
