Law School Senior Lecturer Cameron Moore was recently Australia’s only representative at the International Committee of the Red Cross Roundtable in Kyoto on Implementing the Additional Protocols to the Geneva Conventions. The two day Roundtable comprised invited delegates from Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Defence from around East and North Asia, as well as some experts from Europe and Asia. Together with the Japanese Ambassador for Human Rights and Humanitarian Affairs Cameron chaired a major part of the proceedings on protecting civilians and also presented a paper on Australia’s reasons for adopting the Additional Protocols, particularly Additional Protocol (AP) 1, Australia’s legal and operational implementation of AP1, the key provisions of AP 1 for contemporary operations and some key issues arising, such as Direct Participation in Hostilities and detention.
