IHL 101 Series: Refugees And Stateless People

April 16th , 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM Eastern Time

How does international law protect the vulnerable in times of armed conflict?

In times of armed conflict, refugees and stateless individuals often face unimaginable risks. But did you know that International Humanitarian Law provides critical protections for these vulnerable populations? Join the American Red Cross as we examine how the law protects some of the most vulnerable in wartime.

Speaker

Thomas Harper serves as the Senior Counsel in International Humanitarian Law (IHL) for the American Red Cross National Headquarters. In that capacity, he leads the Red Cross IHL Dissemination Program, which carries out the nation’s obligation under the Geneva Conventions to educate and inform the American public about the law of armed conflict (also known as IHL or the law of war).
