How do we know which IHL rules apply during armed conflict? Is there a legal difference between a conflict like World War II and the ongoing Syrian Civil War?

Join the American Red Cross IHL team to explore the basics of how the law classifies different types of armed conflicts, as well as the impacts of that classification.

This program is part of the American Red Cross International Humanitarian Law Program. Our mission is to educate the public about the rules of war and how they work to reduce suffering during armed conflict. To learn more about our program, including how to get involved, go to www.redcross.org/ihl
