Humanitarian Law on Trial: Gaza, AI Warfare, and Global Accountability

In this episode, we delve into the complex and urgent questions
surrounding the conflict in Gaza and the broader implications for
international humanitarian law. From António Guterres’ powerful
statement that “international humanitarian law is not an à la carte
menu” to the controversial use of AI in military targeting by the
IDF, we explore the legal, ethical, and technological dimensions of
modern warfare. We also examine the unprecedented involvement of
both the ICC and ICJ, the role of European states under the Geneva
Conventions, and whether the current global response signals the
erosion—or evolution—of humanitarian law in real time. Our guest
today is Vincent Chetail, Professor of International Law and
Director of the Global Migration Centre at the Geneva Graduate
Institute.
