Are you aware of International Humanitarian Law and how it impacts our work at the Canadian Red Cross?

Stemming from the Geneva Conventions in 1949, the IHL are wartime rules that protect people who are not taking part in any of the hostile activities of war. Since the purpose at the start of the laws was to prevent human suffering during conflict, it impacts the Canadian Red Cross' work when they go internationally to provide relief efforts to civilians in war-torn countries. A question like this is simply asked to ensure that you have done your research on the Canadian Red Cross and you can find out a lot of information on IHL on their website. Make sure to talk about international efforts the organization has taken in recent years that inspire you.
