Special Classes
International Humanitarian Law
Next class: TBA
In a world where warfare and civil strife are a daily reality for millions, International Humanitarian Law (IHL) provides a framework for protection for civilians and combatants alike. The conduct for warfare as embodied by IHL is laid out in the Geneva Conventions of 1949. The American Red Cross has a unique mandate to educate the American public about the guiding principles and framework of IHL as they apply to the protection of members of the armed forces, including prisoners of war, and civilians. If you would like to learn more, we invite you to enroll in Humanity in the Midst of War: Introduction to International Humanitarian Law. This half day introductory course is intended to raise awareness among Red Cross representatives and general audiences about the Geneva Conventions, the basic rules of IHL and the role of the Red Cross during armed conflict to implement IHL.
