Mr. Kobler discussed international law, Africa’s role in international law, international criminal law, war crimes, international humanitarian law, and human rights law. He emphasized the important role of young people, including law students, recent graduates, and early-career legal scholars, in advancing international criminal law, international humanitarian law, and human rights through legal research, critical writing, advocacy, and public awareness initiatives.
Eleni Tamirat, a fifth-year law student and a representative of graduate students from the AMU Human Rights Association, said the session helped students gain insight into the practical realities of working in the field and understand the ideas presented in Mr. Kobler’s book. Another law student, Tsedinya Ayelign, noted that interacting with an experienced diplomat offered valuable practical knowledge beyond theoretical classroom learning. Mr. Godsend Konofa moderated the session.
