The 20^th Annual Minerva Conference on International Humanitarian Law (IHL): International Humanitarian Law in Times of Decline of the Rule of Law

Jerusalem, November 17-18, 2025.

Proposal submission deadline: June 22, 2025.

The Minerva Center for Human Rights at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem is holding an international conference on the future of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) in an era in which some of the basic building blocks of the rule of law, at both the national and international level, appear to be weakening and becoming more unstable.

The conference, the 20^th in the Minerva Center’s series of annual international conferences on IHL, will take place in Jerusalem on November 17-18, 2025. The conference will be held in an in-person format, but will also allow, in exceptional circumstances, for online presentations.

Scholars and practitioners in related fields are invited to submit proposals to present a paper at the conference, critically evaluating contemporary challenges to the legitimacy and effectiveness of IHL, as well as challenges to broader international norms and institutions.
