One hundred and fifty years later, the application of IHL rules on the conduct of hostilities are confronted with new and increasing challenges in light of the changing nature of armed conflicts, the means of combat and the actors involved. The XXXVII Round Table on current issues of International Humanitarian Law, jointly organised with the International Committee of the Red Cross, as is the well-established tradition which the Institute is proud to maintain, offered military practitioners and IHL experts, from different regions of the world and with different backgrounds, the opportunity to examine the law and the practice governing the conduct of hostilities in current armed conflicts. The changing nature of conflicts, with the acute proliferation of non- international armed conflicts and the conduct of operations within densely- populated areas, calls for a rigorous application and enforcement of the pre- existent norms, as well as for the need to analyse and address their application to new situations that continue to arise. Conflicts such as the one unfolding in Syria or the recent situation in Gaza exemplify the growing difficulties encountered by a strict respect for and observance of the principle of distinction between combatants and civilians and between civilian and military objects, as well as a frequently too loose assessment of proportionality, and an increasing disregard of principles of humanity. The consequence is an increasing exposure of civilian populations to suffering caused by armed conflicts. Current developments in warfare, such as cyber warfare or the growing use of autonomous weapons in combat situations, elicit debates not only in relation to the current application of International Humanitarian Law, but also to possible future developments and scenarios. Such debates are essential to ensure that international norms and standards are rigorously respected and observed in armed conflicts. The Round Table presented a multinational and interdisciplinary scenario where the most burning issues and challenges were extensively discussed. With the publication

  • Press Release
    Press Release 9 October 2012 PARS 3 LR FOR GERMAN TIGER HELICOPTER PASSES INTO FULL SCALE PRODUCTION PARS 3 LR, the main armament for the German Army’s Tiger helicopter, passes into full scale production. This follows the successful completion of the system’s validation programme for the German customer, an event marked by a direct hit against an intended target during a test firing carried out at the Meppen test range (located in Lower Saxony, NW Germany) on 20 September 2012. The target was provided by a tank moving in between houses. In the final firing, the PARS 3 LR missile struck the target with exceptional precision in a demanding urban combat scenario at a range of approximately 3 km. All test firings were carried out from a German Tiger helicopter. The tests confirm that PARS 3 LR completely fulfils the specified system performance requirements under operational conditions. After formal clearance by the BAAINBw (Bundesamt für Ausrüstung, Informationstechnik und Nutzung der Bundeswehr Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support), PARS 3 LR is now ready to go into full-scale series production for the German Army’s Tiger helicopter. “The successful conclusion of the firing campaign sends a strong signal to our national customers and potential export customers”, declared Thomas Homberg, Managing Director of MBDA Germany. This guided missile system will make an important contribution to the Bundeswehr, enabling it to fulfil the demanding missions it is expected to perform even better in the future”. “We have impressively demonstrated the exceptional capabilities and high precision of the PARS 3 LR.
