How do young people today understand and feel about international humanitarian law (IHL) and the policies in place when it comes to armed conflict? It is no surprise that our youth are increasingly affected by war, in a world where situations are becoming more complex. We bear witness to active youth participation in a way we have never seen before – leading and joining protests, documenting and sharing stories on social media, volunteering for various organizations, taking up difficult conversations with decision-makers, and, of course, living through an armed conflict.
In this episode of Humanity in War, podcast host Elizabeth Rushing sits down with three incredible young humanitarians- Julie Lefolle, Silvia Gelvez, and Kay von Mérey – who share their perspectives on IHL and humanitarian action, their understanding of the work ahead, and ultimately the hope to carry us forward as we begin a new year.

Episode 11: How international humanitarian law develops - trends and opportunities
A recent edition of the International Review of the Red Cross dedicated its content to examining a seemingly simple question: 'How does international humanitarian law develop?', touching upon the history of international humanitarian law (IHL), its current status and future prospects.
In this week’s episode of Humanity in War, podcast host Elizabeth Rushing unpacks these questions with Dr. Cordula Droege, ICRC’s Chief Legal Officer and Head of the Legal Division, and Dr. Eirini Giorgou, a legal adviser in the ICRC’s Arms and Conduct of Hostilities Unit specializing, among other topics, on explosive weapons in populated areas.
