The NATO Cyber Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence, the War Studies Research Centre of the Netherlands Defence Academy and the Amsterdam Centre for International Law (ACIL) are organizing an international conference on the law applicable to the use of biometrics by armed forces, contractors working with armed forces, and ICT companies involved in military acquisition and procurement. The aim of the conference is to provide a platform for debate between academics, practitioners and policy-makers to discuss the legal aspects of the military use of this technology. The conference will build on the fruitful discussions held during two previous conferences devoted to this topic held in Amsterdam (May 2023) and Tallinn (May 2024).
The conference will take place on 23 – 24 October in Tallinn, Estonia. The format is currently planned to be in-person.
We invite those interested to submit a proposal to present a paper at the conference.
