Published 09 March 2007

A seminar on Transnational and Non-State Actors: Legal and Policy Challenges was convened against the background of the international and interdisciplinary initiative launched by the Program on Humanitarian Policy and Conflict Research at Harvard University and the Graduate Institute for International Studies in Geneva was held in March 2007 at Harvard University, and in cooperation with the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.
The seminar is aimed at developing and deepening research into how the increasingly prominent role played by transnational and non-state armed groups is changing the landscape of warfare and challenging traditional understandings of the laws and customs of war.
