On 23 October 2026, the University Centre for Conflict and Post-Conflict Studies (UNCE CPS) hosted a workshop entitled Vulnerable Persons in Armed Conflict at the Faculty of Law, Charles University. The event brought together academics and students to discuss the legal protection of vulnerable persons in armed conflict and to exchange views on current research in this field. The programme consisted of three panels addressing different dimensions of vulnerability: its conceptual and legal foundations, the specific challenges faced by children and persons affected by gender- and sexuality-based vulnerabilities, and the protection of persons in particular conflict settings, including persons under occupation, journalists and humanitarian workers. The presentations were followed by discussions involving chairs and designated discussants, providing an opportunity for constructive feedback and an exchange of academic perspectives. The workshop was designed as more than a traditional academic conference. It served as an opportunity for preliminary peer review of chapters prepared for a forthcoming collective monograph on vulnerable persons in armed conflict. Rather than simply bringing together papers presented at a conference, the publication is being developed around a common conceptual framework, with an agreed structure and defined topics for individual chapters. This approach is intended to ensure coherence across the contributions and to strengthen the monograph as a whole. The discussions proved highly productive, encouraging authors to reconsider and further refine their manuscripts before submission. The workshop thus fulfilled its purpose of facilitating scholarly exchange while contributing directly to the quality and consistency of the forthcoming publication. UNCE CPS would like to thank all speakers, chairs, discussants and participants for their contributions to the workshop and for the constructive atmosphere that made the event a success.
