Webinar N° 9 : Addressing new generational, socio-cultural and technological challenges in teaching IHL and military ethics

The education of armed forces in the ethical conduct of combat and war is a critical, and yet underexplored facet of the literature and practice of military ethics. In this webinar we will discuss some of the challenges that military ethics pedagogics faces. Meeting these challenges is necessary if we wish to further educate armed forces in the ethical and proportionate use of force.
