The conference aims at addressing the core issues which plague the current Humanitarian Law, what are
the imminent and foresighted challenges encountered by the treaties that have been universally ratified
with a special focus as to how efficient are current conventions in urban warfare.

Further, the conference will discuss how the International Refugee Law has evolved as legal protection for
refugees and measures to reduce their grievances but majorly focuses on the issues that are still needed
to be acknowledged to provide this protection entirely.
