The Advanced IHL Learning Series are addressed to lecturers and trainers who wish to be abreast of the latest developments in international humanitarian law (IHL) and other related areas. The series help lecturers strengthen their grasp of topical issues and gives them access to teaching resources, thereby enabling them to introduce these topics or issues in the courses or training sessions that they run.

This video provides some insights on recent developments in the interplay between IHL and IHRL, namely: the challenges posed by the application of IHRL in armed conflicts, the issues related to the simultaneous application of IHL and IHRL, the interplay between IHL and IHRL concerning use of force and deprivation of liberty in armed conflict, an overview of recent case law and courts decisions, as well as perspectives and future challenges on the matter.

This video was filmed during the 2015 edition of the Advanced Seminar in IHL for University Lecturers co-organized by the ICRC and the Geneva Academy. The opinions expressed by the lecturers in the series are theirs alone, and not necessarily shared by the ICRC.
