Professor Breau Susan will address the increasing impact of armed conflict upon the civilian population and the key issue of accountability for civilian casualties. Captain Stephens will tackle the issue of classification of armed conflict and the impact such classification has on military operations. Captain Stephens will particularly focus upon the normative humanitarian standards that are developing to shape planning in both international and non-international armed conflict. The seminar is sponsored by the Australian Red Cross and Finlaysons.
