DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism welcomes Chiara
  Redaelli (Visiting Research Fellow - Harvard Law School\; Research Fellow
  - Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law & Human Rights).\n\nAb
 stract\n\nThis lecture will investigate the effects of the humanization of
  international law on the crime of aggression. In its traditional understa
 nding\, aggression is ‘the supreme international crime’ aimed at protectin
 g sovereignty and territorial integrity of states. In the aftermath of the
  World War II\, the humanization of international law has brought to the f
 ore genocide\, war crimes\, and crimes against humanity.\n\nAs the focus h
 as shifted on crimes directed at protecting of human beings\, the crime of
  aggression has gradually lost its central role and has lived in a legal l
 imbo. Nevertheless\, it has not remained immune from a humanitarian sensit
 ivity that has pervaded international criminal law. Ultimately\, this lect
 ure will demonstrate that human rights\, more than the maintenance of peac
 e per se\, have informed the crime of aggression. Furthermore\, the crime 
 of aggression has shifted from a crime against negative peace\, i.e. absen
 ce of war\, to a crime against positive peace\, a notion that encompasses 
 the protection of fundamental human rights.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nChiara
  Redaelli is a Research Fellow at the Geneva Academy\, where she works for
  the Rule of Law in Armed Conflicts project (RULAC). Her areas of expertis
 e include international humanitarian law\, armed conflicts\, non-State act
 ors\, jus ad bellum\,and  international human rights law. She formerly wor
 ked with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Cox’
 s Bazar (Bangladesh) and Beijing (China). She defended her PhD (summa cum 
 laude) in public international law at the Graduate Institute of Internatio
 nal and Development Studies in September 2018. Her doctoral research inves
 tigated how the human rights paradigm has affected the international legal
  regulation of interventions in non-international armed conflicts.\n\nThis
  event is eligible for inclusion as 1.5 hours of continuing legal educatio
 n as reported by members of the Barreau du Québec.\n
