About the Conference

Modern warfare has evolved beyond traditional combat, posing complex challenges to international law and human rights. With advancements in technology, cyber warfare, and economic tactics, conflicts now extend into digital and economic spheres, threatening global stability. These modern conflicts lead to widespread displacement, erosion of civil liberties, and severe humanitarian crises. Additionally, warfare’s environmental consequences—pollution, habitat destruction, and climate change—further compound global challenges. This conference aims to examine the legal, ethical, and strategic dimensions of modern warfare, fostering discussions on the role of international law in protecting human rights and ensuring global security.
