Lunch seminar with Marthe Engedahl
Military Assistance Operations in Armed Conflict: A Study of Norway’s Legal Obligations in Relation to the Assisted Party’s Conduct
Abstract
During the lunch seminar, Marthe Engedahl will present her ongoing PhD project on military assistance operations and questions related to Norway’s obligations under international law for their military partners’ conduct during international and non-international armed conflict. The focus is on the obligations flowing from the special fields of international humanitarian law (IHL), international human rights law (IHRL) and arms control regimes as well as general international law, including the rules on state responsibility.
During her presentation, Marthe will outline the conceptual framework of the thesis, the overall research questions, and the identified sub-questions and research design. As a part of this, Marthe will also address the thesis’ particular focus on Norway and her initial thoughts on the relevance for other states.
