Brown Bag Lunch Series

Speaker: Zach Hudson, Crowley Fellow in International Human Rights Student walks near a suspected mined area in the DR Congo.

Every year thousands of innocent men, women, and children all over the world are killed or maimed by indiscriminate weapons that disproportionately impact civilian populations—both during and long after the end of conflict. Based on ten years of experience working in humanitarian disarmament, the Leitner Center’s Crowley Fellow, Zach Hudson, will discuss how the international community is using human rights and international humanitarian law to address limits on the production and use of such weapons.
