SUMMARY:The Global Future of Civilian Protection: Learning from the Gaza Genocide
DESCRIPTION:\nThe significant failure to protect civilians in the most recent conflict in Gaza (2023 onwards) and what has been labeled the ‘rupture’ of the rules-based international order, demands a critical assessment of the future of protection of civilians, as a legal and institutional commitment. This discussion has increased in urgency following the US-Israel war in Iran, involving the same actors deploying the ‘Gaza playbook’ vis-a-vis protecting civilians. \n\n\n\nProtection of civilians while anchored in International Humanitarian Law, encompasses all activities aimed at obtaining full respect for the rights of the individual in accordance with relevant bodies of law (i.e. International Human Rights Law, International Humanitarian Law, International Refugee Law), as well as alongside notions of military honour and other ethics. It is a concept applied in situations of conflict to keep civilians from harm.\n\n\n\nProtection of civilians in a conflict can be actioned through multiple measures, including conflict prevention, civilian/community-based self-protection, restraint measures in military operations, international and domestic justice processes, ensuring physical safety of civilians and ensuring access to adequate humanitarian assistance.\n\n\n\nThis roundtable discussion brings together a diverse group of scholars and practitioners to speak to the future of civilian protection based on the lessons from Gaza. They will bring a diversity of perspectives including international law; international peace and security; principled humanitarian action; civil society engagement in political and public spaces (protests, boycotts, legislative initiatives, etc.) and civilian self-protection, based on their academic and/or practice expertise and their lived experience. Details on the presentation focuses can be found in the panelist sections below.\n\n\n\nRegister below and join us on April 8 at 9 a.m. ET / 1 p.m. GMT / 12 a.m. AEDT!\n\n\n.kb-image7678_7ba1cb-16 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}\n\n\n\n\nIn collaboration with the Centre for Refugee Studies and the Dahdaleh Institute for Global Health Research, York University. \n\n\n\nMore information can be found here: https://www.yorku.ca/dighr/events/the-global-future-of-civilian-protection-learning-from-the-gaza-genocide/ ( https://www.yorku.ca/dighr/events/the-global-future-of-civilian-protection-learning-from-the-gaza-genocide/ )\n\n\n\n\n
