21 January 2020 | 17:30 – 19:00 Chatham House | 10 St James's Square | London | SW1Y 4LE |

Countries should have adequate systems in place for investigating violations of international humanitarian law, for launching criminal prosecutions for war crimes and for inquiring into responsibility for unlawful actions of national armed forces. There also needs to be proper counting and recording of the civilian casualties of military operations. This event, which will be introduced by the director of the UK Service Prosecuting Authority, Andrew Cayley, will discuss the new report by the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law, Guidelines on Investigating Violations of International Humanitarian Law: Law, Policy and Good Practice, as well as the problems and challenges associated with recording civilian casualties of armed conflict. This meeting is the third in a series of three commemorating the 70th anniversary of the 1949 Geneva Conventions. It will be followed by a drinks reception. |
This event is supported by the British Red Cross. |
