In my capacity as an academic and representative of Intlawgrrls, I had the pleasure of attending and speaking at the 11th International Humanitarian Law Dialogs in Chautauqua, New York from August 27th-29th.

What was particularly impressive this year was the presence of so many distinguished female voices. In this post, I will briefly highlight panels and lectures with such distinguished female participants.
