About this listen

 In our second episode we explore the history and ongoing relevance of the Geneva Conventions and the essential role of International Humanitarian Law (IHL).   Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with Alexis Comninos, a delegate from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). Together we delve into the origins and principles of the Geneva Conventions and IHL, discovering how these vital humanitarian rules are upheld and why they continue to matter today.   Through Alexis’s firsthand experiences in the field, we gain insight into what IHL looks like in action —from reconnecting prisoners of war with their families to ensuring the protection of human dignity amid conflict. Learn how young people can advocate for and promote respect for these fundamental principles, and how civil society plays a crucial role in upholding these protections.   Tune in to this episode for an inspiring look at how IHL has evolved from Henry Dunant’s vision at the Battle of Solferino to today’s global humanitarian efforts—and find out how you, too, can make a difference in promoting these life-saving rules.
