Professor Geiß will develop and promote the Geneva Academy’s expertise in the area of new military technologies.
As a ‘Mechanisms Lab’, the Geneva Human Rights Platform will continue to work on the connectivity of human rights mechanisms.
The paper provides an overview of this trend, derives provisional lessons-learned on the opportuneness of human rights bodies dealing with IHL and examines issues that would deserve further academic and/or practical examination.
This course discusses the extent to which states may limit and/or derogate from their international human rights obligations in order to prevent and counter terrorism and thus protect persons under their jurisdiction.
This short course will provide a comprehensive, multidimensional and practical examination of truth commissions, shedding light on both its aims and the practical challenges it has met or is likely to meet.
