In this inaugural episode, Jonathan sits down with Yvette Zegenhagen, Head of International Humanitarian Law at Australian Red Cross. After a stint in commercial law, Yvette now spearheads a Red Cross team charged with advancing international humanitarian law - the "laws of war" - within Australian society.
International Humanitarian Law is a set of international laws that set what can and cannot be done during an armed conflict. Their main purpose is to maintain some humanity in armed conflicts, saving lives and reducing suffering.
