09 May New Technologies Symposium: How Law and Autonomy (Should) Interact in War and Peace
book sets out an ambitious agenda – covering the role of new technologies not only in times of armed conflict, but also in civilian contexts.

The approach is often to start with small things. And the small things make a big difference. Healing is Important In my experience from the beginning of my engagement with the justice and healing of survivors through ECCC process, I have successfully tried many approaches where people can find those healing approaches through books, documentation and documentaries about judicial and non-judicial reparation projects.

...the days to come, while others will remain concealed due to the lack of appropriate facilities and testing kits. The imperative need to address this scenario became evident on 23rd March, when the UN Secretary-General called for a global ceasefire. Understandably, scholarly discussions – including most contributions to this symposium – are focusing on State responses (here, here and here) and the role of international organizations (here).

...demands, online blogs help widen the scope of scholarship, affording students and scholars the opportunity to present their ideas in real time. On account of their wide reach, blogs provide authors with the confidence that their works will be closely read and elicit attention from peers and other interested parties. As research has shown, these blog articles enjoy more readership than journal articles and book chapters.

They rarely challenged Eurocentric...
