Ninth Annual Human Rights Study Day
Saturday March 6, 2004
09:30 - 17:30
Human Rights at a Time of Conflict
At a time of conflict, three things may lawfully happen to international human
rights. Some might be temporarily set aside to facilitate the resolution of an
emergency. Some must continue to be upheld because they are considered to be
central to human dignity. Others start to apply because the nature of conflict
can cause some people to become vulnerable and they are in need of special
protection. We will explore these standards and their application.
