How did international humanitarian law #IHL develop historically? What are its prospects?

For ruminations on these questions, please join this wonderful #ICRC panel on 17 Nov, as the IRRC launches its new issue!

This issue features an article by Prof Maartje Abbenhuis, Dr Branka Bogdan, and myself (@maartjeabb + @BrankaBogdan on the Birdsite) on the #humanitarian controversy around #DumDum bullets in the the #Anglo-European public sphere in the 1890s. #militaryhistory
