Conflict, Commerce & the Rules That Govern Both

Armed conflict is no longer a distant headline — it is a present-day operational reality for businesses, supply chains, investors, and professionals operating across borders. This Global Chamber Globinar brings together two of the world's foremost experts on the law governing armed conflict for a live, unscripted conversation designed for global business leaders who need to understand what the rules are, who they apply to, and what the consequences of getting it wrong can be. Professor Geoffrey Corn — George R. Killam Jr. Chair of Criminal Law at Texas Tech University School of Law, former senior law of war advisor to the U.S. Army, and expert witness before the Military Commissions at Guantanamo and the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia — joins host Christopher Bennett, Esq. alongside Professor Gabor Rona — Professor of Practice at Cardozo Law School and former Chair of the United Nations Working Group on Mercenaries — to deliver a grounded, accessible, and globally relevant baseline on International Humanitarian Law (IHL), the Laws of Armed Conflict (LOAC), and international criminal accountability. Whether your business operates near a conflict zone, sources from affected regions, employs security contractors, or simply wants to understand the legal landscape shaping global risk in 2026, this is the conversation you cannot afford to miss. Registration is free. Seats are limited. Join us.
