We’re proud to present the No. 3, 2026 edition of The PALM, focused on International Humanitarian Law and one of the most urgent questions of our time: how do we preserve humanity in the midst of inhumanity?
Against the backdrop of armed conflicts and humanitarian crises across Africa, from Sudan and the DRC to Somalia, this edition examines the growing gap between the rules designed to protect human dignity and the realities of their implementation and enforcement.
Featuring an exclusive interview with Lea Mehari Redae, Lecturer at Addis Ababa University School of Law and Founder of the Addis Ababa University International Humanitarian Law Clinic
Insightful articles by Oluwapelumi Mojolaoluwa, Sulaimon A. Badmus, and Silver C. Obioha
Thoughtful analysis on humanitarian intervention and the responsibility of sovereignty, civilian participation in cyber warfare, and the persistent enforcement gap in International Humanitarian Law
This edition is a reminder that the greatest challenge facing humanitarian law may not always be the absence of rules, but the failure to enforce them. Above all, it calls us to preserve something profoundly simple yet essential: our humanity, even in the midst of inhumanity.
