The 2023 CILE Winter School will be hosted in collaboration with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), focusing on topics related to armed conflict ethics. Not only is this topic important as it brings forth discussions on maintaining ethics in violent and difficult situations, but it is also an issue that is relevant to the current position of Muslims in the context of the Global War on Terror (GWOT). These discussions will also be relevant to the region, as the Middle East is home to a number of local and international armed conflicts, thus enabling participants to consider the results and consequences of armed conflicts, including such topics as humane treatment, Islamic law and rules of engagement, child protection, detention of combatants, and refugee crises, as well as social, individual, and governmental responsibility.
