Summer School on Law and Armed Conflict

In 2011, Amel Association launched a Summer School on Law and Armed Conflicts to provide law graduates, human rights activists and researchers with the knowledge required to work in the legal framework. The overall objective of the Summer School was to provide protection to civilians and civilian objects during armed conflicts and emergency situations. The Summer School involved in-depth insight into international and local legislative frameworks that govern many aspects of armed conflict including conduct of hostilities, protection of civilian populations, the means and methods of combat, peacekeeping, international criminal law, international crimes and the international justice system.
