Exploring Humanitarian Law : Limits in armed conflict

This video is part of the Exploring Humanitarian Law education programme. For more information, visit http://www.ehl.icrc.org. About this video:
This module introduces the idea that there are rules for behaviour in armed conflict that seek to protect victims and other vulnerable people. After exploring some of the complexities and potential threats to individuals that arise from an armed conflict, students propose rules for protecting life and human dignity. They study the basic provisions of international humanitarian law (IHL) and apply them to such issues as the recruitment or other use of children by armed forces or groups, and limits on certain weapons and methods of warfare.
