The study had two main aims: identifying and understanding, more precisely and clearly, the humanitarian problems arising from armed conflict and devising possible legal solutions to them in terms of legal development or clarification. On that occasion, I said that the nature of armed conflict, its causes and consequences, had evolved over the years and that the international community must expect and prepare itself for new protection needs for victims of armed conflict.ĭuring the course of my address last year, I announced that the ICRC was about to complete an internal research study, two years in the making. The sixtieth anniversary of the Geneva Conventions was an opportune moment, not only to look back at the progress that had been made since 1949, but also to assess the challenges before us, at present and in the future.
On the 12th of August last year, I had the opportunity of sharing with you some observations on the state of international humanitarian law.
