Breakfast Briefing with Cornelius Wiesener 7 April 2022
Detention in Military Operations
Abstract:
Detention in armed conflict entails a number of challenging issues under international law. This presentation will focus on the grounds for detention, which may differ significantly depending on whether the conflict is international or non-international in nature. In fact, the interplay between international humanitarian law and international human rights law remains particularly disputed in relation to the legal basis for security detention in non-international armed conflicts. Likewise, there is a need for further clarification of the institutional and procedural requirements applicable to the tribunals and review boards that are tasked with determining the status of detainees and authorising their internment.
