About Our Publication

The IHL Review is an independent, student-led publication dedicated to international humanitarian law and the law of armed conflict. Founded on the belief that even in times of war, humanity must remain protected by law, we publish legal analysis, research articles, case notes, and treaty explainers that explore the legal principles governing armed conflict.

We are not lawyers or legal practitioners, nor are we affiliated with or representative of any government, military, political party, international organization, or advocacy group. Our work is intended solely for educational purposes and is grounded in primary legal sources, established scholarship, and a commitment to impartiality, intellectual honesty, and respect for international law.

Our aim is simple: to make international humanitarian law more accessible while encouraging thoughtful, evidence-based discussion through the perspective of students passionate about the field.
