Monday 4.05.2026
Summary
Much of the media’s coverage of the latest developments in the Middle East has routinely misrepresented the applicable international law. Natasha addresses the relevant legal framework of the Law of Armed Conflict, or International Humanitarian Law, and explains how the laws of war govern the actions of responsible parties on the battlefield.
