Dalhousie University 14th Annual International Humanitarian Law (IHL) Conference

The John E. Read International Law Society at the Schulich School of Law, Dalhousie University, in partnership with the Canadian Red Cross, is proud to host the 14th annual International Humanitarian Law (IHL) Conference on Detention and the Prohibitions against Torture, Cruel, and Unusual Punishment.

The conference will be held on October 5, 2018 from 3:30 P.M – 6:00 P.M at the Weldon Law Building, Dalhousie University, Halifax.

The conference will explore the protections and rules that aim to reduce the occurrence of torture, cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment during armed conflict under both international and national law. Our speakers will provide an introduction to the various legal regimes addressing torture and related humanitarian issues such as detention and internment. Panelists will provide insight into their personal and professional experiences working with both government and NGOs and discuss the challenges that remain in regards to both compliance with, and adequacy of, the current legal regime.
