| Course Objectives: | This course aims to provide students with a foundational legal and critical understanding of International Humanitarian Law (IHL), focusing on its key principles, challenges, and application in armed conflicts. Through case studies, including those in Bosnia, Croatia, and Syria, students will develop analytical skills in assessing IHL's real-world impact. The course will emphasize the role of international courts in enforcing IHL and will also examine relevant rulings of the Israeli Supreme Court on occupation-related issues. By engaging with legal precedents and practical scenarios, students will gain a deeper understanding of how IHL is applied in practice. |
