The 38th Round Table on current problems of International Humanitarian Law (IHL), jointly organized by the International Institute of Humanitarian Law and the International Committee of the Red Cross, focused this year on the complex and delicate issues concerning the application of IHL in the context of international and non-international armed conflicts. Discussions and debates were drawn from the expertise of international IHL academics and specialists as well as from the field-tested experience of military practitioners. The aim was to identify lessons to be learned from recent developments in this area including related topics such as detention and humanitarian assistance. This event provided the opportunity to examine and discuss fundamental questions regarding the application of IHL and International Human Rights Law in international and non-international armed conflict. Furthermore, this Round Table tackled the challenge of how to enhance the compliance of non-state armed groups with international humanitarian law and strive to shed some more light on how international law applies to all forms of violence, be it in an international or a non-international environment.
