Today is International Humanitarian Law Day – so we’re reflecting on a truly insightful webinar, originally hosted as part of HNPW in March this year.

Featuring:
Dr Helen Durham AO (CEO, RedR Australia and IHL expert)
Hichem Khadhraoui (Executive Director, Center for Civilians in Conflict - CIVIC)
Leonie Barnes (RedR Australia trainer and humanitarian specialist in conflict settings)
Ahmed Ibrahim (Country Director Somalia and Kenya, CIVIC)

We invite you to watch and listen to this thought-provoking conversation with four experts with diverse field experience - discussing protecting humanitarian personnel in an era of heightened risk. The framework for this protection is founded on IHL and this conversation unpacks the complex drivers behind the deterioration of the humanitarian space.

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of the evolving risk landscape and practical strategies to strengthen the safety and resilience of humanitarian staff worldwide.
