A very informal discussion at #intlawday2024 with some participants absent, taking a break before dinner. The hard-core letter writers stayed!

At #intlawday2024, special session on the article "Law, War and Letter Writing", mainly against the background of the Irar war 2003, the Russia-Ukraine conflict in 2022 and the Israel-Gaza conflict from 2023. academic.oup.com/ejil/advance...

Pål Wrange (SU), Gregor Noll (GU) and Inger Österdahl (UU) concludes the workshop on autonomy in military systems. Österdahl is positively surprised that the CCW GGE talks have new energi. Noll asks if it will be the same next year. #intlawday2024
