Today, Minnesota Human Rights Lab, administered by UofM Human Rights Center & Human Rights Program, sponsored Embattled Battlefield Instruction. Prof. Cosette Creamer, Col. Mark Dakers & UofM Human Rights Center fellow Tracey Blasenheim presented their research to a rapt crowd who then participated in an interactive exercise.

More pics from today's event. Audience members experienced first hand how seemingly small interpretive differences could translate into markedly different guidance to arms carriers on the battlefield regarding the protections afforded to noncombatants in war zones.
