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 7: Climate and environmental crisis in the Sahel - a conversation with Adama Dieng
Although Saheliens are one of the smallest contributors of CO2 globally, the Sahel region is at the core of the harsh reality of climate change. In this episode, we speak with the former Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations Office on Genocide Prevention, Adama Dieng, to unpack the recent edition of the International Review of the Red Cross on The Sahel and look ahead to the COP27 on 6-18 November 2022 to tackle climate change.
