CIHOL represented at the VIII Silent Leges inter arma? Conference organised by the Belgian Group of the International Society for Military Law and the Law of War

The Head of the Centre for International Humanitarian and Operational Law (CIHOL), Dr. Martin Faix, took part in the VIII Silent Leges inter arma? Conference, organised by the Belgian Group of the International Society for Military Law and the Law of War (ISMLLW) in Bruges, 16–19 September. In his presentation, he introduced CIHOL, its mission and activities, with a particular focus on innovative teaching methods in international humanitarian law (IHL). He highlighted the unique methodology of Camp Peira—CIHOL’s live simulation military training exercise—as a practical and highly effective approach to teaching and disseminating IHL.

CIHOL was honoured to act as a supporting partner of the conference. This collaboration reflects the growing international recognition of CIHOL’s work and marks an important step in strengthening cooperation in the fields of IHL and international law. We look forward to deepening our partnership with ISMLLW, especially given its unique role in bridging the civilian and military spheres—an approach that closely resonates with CIHOL’s mission.
