REG. LECTURE THIS MORNING (24 OCTOBER)
Dear students,
Please accept my sincere apologies for the contradictory information that was posted with regard to the venue of the lecture this morning. The published Course Outline said Aud. 6 DA, while the list published under "Teaching - Time and place" said Aud. 14 DB. This is entirely my fault, and I apologise to all students who were affected. I kindly ask affected students to send me an e-mail (k.m.larsen@nchr.uio.no) in order for me to get an understanding of the scope of the problem, and to get a basis for considering what should be done to remedy the situation.
Yours sincerely, Kjetil M. Larsen, course coordinator
Relevant seminar on Thursday
SEMINAR ON NEW WEAPON TECHNOLOGY AND INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW
With technological advances, new dimensions in form and space have been added to the modern battlefield. These new dimensions have implications on how to apply international humanitarian law (IHL) in today’s and future conflicts.
On October 25th 2012, a one day seminar will be held to discuss the challenges and possibilities that arise from applying IHL to new warfare technology. Emphasis will be directed to the use of cyber technology and drones in modern warfare.
The seminar is co-hosted by the Norwegian Red Cross and the Norwegian Armed Forces. Go to http://www.rodekors.no/vart-arbeid/folkerett/high-technology-warfare1/ for updates closer to the event.
Date: October 25th 2012 Venue: Fanehallen, Akershus Fortress, Oslo
Registration: anders.thorheim@redcross.no
Relevant eksternt seminar: Dialogmøte om Norge og atomvåpen
(Relevant for Scandinavian-proficient students only, I'm afraid.)
Kunne Norge utviklet atomvåpen?
Litteraturhuset, tirsdag 23. oktober kl. 1700
Det er ingen selvfølge at Norge ikke har atomvåpen. Hvor sterke var de politiske kreftene for anskaffelse og hvor nær var vi? Er det teknisk mulig eller et rettslig grunnlag for å utvikle atomvåpen i Norge i dag? Olav Njølstad (UiO), Gro Nystuen (ILPI) og Steinar Høibråten (FFI) innleder. Gratis adgang, enkel servering.

IMPORTANT ABOUT MONDAY 10 SEPTEMBER
As you may have noticed, there is a collision between the IHL lecture on Monday 10 September (12:15-14:00) and the interview with Judge Simma (13:00-15:00, http://www.jus.uio.no/english/research/areas/intrel/events/guest-lectures/2012/20120910-interview-simma.html). To avoid the collision, and to encourage everyone to attend Simma's interview, the lecture on Monday will be changed. At 12:15, Associate Professor Gentian Zyberi will address the International Court of Justice's impact on international humanitarian law, and before 13:00 we will head towards Gamle Festsal for the interview. This provides us with an excellent opportunity to raise questions that may be posed to Judge Simma, while also highlighting issues that are highly relevant for the course. Cecilie Hellestveit's lecture on non-international armed conflicts will be held at another occasion - watch this site for update...
Teaching materialsThe presentation from lecture # 1, and materials for lecture # 2, have now been posted. Sorry for the delay!
