Did you ever wonder how today's international humanitarian law came about and to what extent it is ruled by a eurocentric understanding of the past? Then @NomosVerlag might have something of interest for you. My book 'Humanity as a Vehicle' will be published soon! @MPILheidelberg

Excited to share that I had the chance to join Christopher Murphy for a deep dive into the laws of war. We traced their historical roots & discussed their relevance for contemporary conflicts.

A big thank you to @maxplancklaw for featuring my research!
