🌱 Today, on the International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict, we look back on some of the Yearbook of International Humanitarian Law’s previous chapters that address the intersection of environmental harm and IHL.

🌍 In light of the recent International Day of Peace, we are revisiting the Yearbook of International Humanitarian Law’s first ever Focus Section, centred on Samuel Moyn’s "Humane: How the United States Abandoned Peace and Reinvented War" (2021).

📢 New book: Enforcing International Humanitarian Law via Individual Rights — The Role of Strategic Litigation in Germany by Dr Vera Strobel examines how strategic litigation can advance IHL and protect civilians. 🔗Order your copy now: lnkd.in/eGqnY7Yn #IHL #CaseLaw @fbakkerfrank.bsky.social

The Geneva Conventions, adopted 76 years ago today and ratified worldwide, are the backbone of international humanitarian law. They: 🔹 Protect those who are not or no longer fighting. 🔹 Save lives and reduce suffering. Even in armed conflicts, humanity must prevail.
