Network of Military Prosecutors and the International Society for Military Law and the Law of War

This just in . . .

In April 2018, the IAP Executive Committee agreed to support the NMP’s decision to engage in a partnership with ISMLLW and to discuss the topic at the 21st ISMLLW Congress in May 2018 in Lisbon. The theme of the May Congress was Peace, War & the Law and comprised a series of general discussions on broader themes such as The Use of Armed Forces in Domestic Situations, Accountability and Responsibility in Peace Operations, Protection of Civilians in Peace Operations, Detention in Peace Operations, and Implementing a Gender Perspective in Peace Operations.

During the May Congress, the NMP presented its activities and website to the ISMLLW Board of Directors with a view to underline the added value of dual membership of both entities. Following deliberations in the Managing Board, the ISMLLW has now approached the IAP/NMP with a view to draft a Memorandum of Understanding between the ISMLLW and the IAP. As a first concrete step in the joint ambition to partner, the IAP/NMP has accepted the kind invitation to provide a speaker to the ISMLLW Conference on The International Law Applicable to Peace Operations in Dublin in November this year.

Further, and in connection with the enhancement of the NMP website and its new library on international criminal law a flyer on the ISMLLW has been updated on the site for the convenience of IAP members.
