International Red Cross: Even War Has Rules

International Red Cross: Even War Has Rules

Today armed conflicts are ongoing around the world. At times it may seem that there are no rules in war. Fortunately, there are rules in war, and they can make a difference. Even War Has Rules is a dynamic discus-sion of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and how it governs armed conflict. It will address topics such as:

  • The sources of law and rules that apply to armed conflicts
  • The fundamental principles of IHL that guide the development of these rules
  • How IHL protects people and places during armed conflicts.

By the end of the class, participants will achieve a general understanding of IHL and will be better able to evaluate the actions of parties to armed conflicts. 

Presented by representatives of the International Red Cross. Learn more here.
