Before the event I actually expected a more lecture style talk which the professor would go over the structure of international law and briefly talk about how it works. Interestingly, he starts off by talking about the recent bombing in Afghanistan and ask us how is bombing a hospital special. I didn’t know the news before hand and this questions immediately triggered my curiosity. He points out that hospital is considered a safe zone and it is not ok to bomb such a place in war.

Then he went on to give more examples on international law. I didn’t recall some of them but it was a comfortable and relaxed talk. My friend Julia really enjoys it and she think the professor is very clever for channeling the important ideas in international law in some very basic examples. I am very into the tech field so this event is an open-eye event for me.
