Sri Lanka: Exploring contemporary challenges to international humanitarian law
Format
The Geneva Conventions enjoy universal acceptance, even seven decades after their adoption. Their integration into domestic law and military doctrine continues to prevent and minimize the human cost of armed conflict, while preserving a minimum of human dignity in times of armed conflict.
However, as methods, means and geography of warfare are transformed, the implementation of international humanitarian law (IHL) faces new challenges. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), in collaboration with the Bandaranaike International Diplomatic Training Institute (BIDTI), organized a series of webinars to raise awareness and promote discussion on selected contemporary challenges to IHL, based on the fifth Challenges Report published by the ICRC.

Dec 18, Colombo: A forensic analysis conducted by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has confirmed that the data in the mobile phone of former Director of the State Intelligence Service (SIS) Nilantha Jayawardena has been completely destroyed and unrecoverable.
These facts were revealed when the Chief Inspector of the Digital Forensic Laboratory of the CID Sampath Kumara testified yesterday before the Presidential Commission investigating the Easter Sunday Attack.
