Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) play a significant role in contributing to the rule of law during and in post-war contexts. Their presence, activities and support � including through advancing human rights and criminal justice agendas � can make a real difference for people.
In Episode 3 of the podcast �In and Around War(s)�, the co-hosts � Antonio Coco and Ana Srovin Coralli � discuss the role of NGOs in war with Ilya Nuzov, Head of the Eastern Europe and Central Asia Desk at the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) and an alumnus of the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights.
Together, they discuss the role, work, challenges and key potential of NGOs in war contexts. They focus, in particular, on the activities carried out by FIDH, including documentation, litigation, advocacy and dissemination regarding international crimes and serious violations of human rights in twar-related situations.
