Dear friends,
Welcome to the April 2015 edition of our newsletter. As the international humanitarian law (IHL) world advances rapidly these days, we wish to provide you with a snapshot of recent developments, writing and upcoming events in the field of IHL. One of the most alarming armed conflicts these days is taking place in Yemen. This conflict raises several international law and IHL questions, and in our upcoming IHL Forum session we will discuss some of these issues.
We also wish to take this opportunity to congratulate the Israeli team of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem that competed in the 27th edition of the Jean-Pictet competition on IHL and advanced to the semi-finals, and the National University of Singapore for winning the competition.
Sincerely, Ido Rosenzweig ALMA Chairman.
