This panel delves into the dynamics of contemporary armed conflicts, focusing on their humanitarian impact and the challenges they pose to global peace and security. In 2024, numerous regions are engulfed in intense and prolonged conflicts, presenting significant threats to international stability.
Presenters are invited to explore the root causes driving these conflicts, such as geopolitical tensions, ethnic and religious divisions, economic disparities, and external interventions. Papers will analyze how these factors perpetuate violence and hinder efforts towards conflict resolution and peacebuilding.
Special attention will be given to the humanitarian consequences of modern warfare, including civilian casualties, displacement, and the destruction of critical infrastructure. Contributors are encouraged to examine the role of international humanitarian law, the efficacy of humanitarian aid, and the complexities of delivering assistance in conflict zones.
Furthermore, the panel will address the broader implications for global peace and security, examining the risks of regional destabilization, spillover effects, and the challenges of mediating peace processes amidst entrenched hostilities.
This panel invites empirical research, case studies, and policy analyses that deepen our understanding of the complexities surrounding contemporary armed conflicts. It aims to foster critical dialogue on effective strategies for mitigating humanitarian crises, promoting peace, and safeguarding global security in conflict-affected regions.
