About
Brigit Toebes is a leading scholar in international law, with a focus on the intersection of armed conflict, human rights, and humanitarian principles. Her work critically examines how legal frameworks govern warfare, particularly through the lens of humanity and chivalry. In her most-cited publication, *Armed Conflict and International Law: In Search of the Human Face* (2013, 35 citations), she explores principles as sources of international humanitarian law, including the role of chivalry and the impact of military robots on the principle of humanity. Toebes also delves into self-defence within rules of engagement, questioning how these elements distort the human face of law. Her contributions highlight the evolving challenges of modern warfare, from autonomous weapons to ethical dilemmas in conflict. With a career dedicated to humanizing international law, Toebes has influenced debates on legal accountability and the protection of civilians. Her work remains essential for students and researchers grappling with the ethical and legal dimensions of armed conflict in the 21st century.
