Is international humanitarian law up to the job of protecting the people affected by modern-day armed conflicts? This film looks in turns at the poor security conditions frequently confronting the civilian population, the fact that people often have to flee their homes, hostage-taking, the dangers posed by cluster munitions, and the work of preventing and, punishing war crimes. It tells us the basic rules of the law and reminds us that respecting them is everyone's responsibility. http://www.icrc.org

  • Does anone have full text?

  • @mssaythetruth WOW, 1902, why don't you go back a few more year,s when Ug and Gu were not fighting fairly?

  • If only people truly understand that civilwar simply has never ended and we see evidence of this in the court systems all over the world. We have internal Domestic private and public war fronts between family members assaulting their own & even killing their own openly with legal help! How does this happen? When Hearsay orders beatings, exiles & young persons in2 hiding to stay alive from their own? When Citizen's Encroach upon the space of their members we have a serious problem. Boundary laws!

  • super, wow there's sure a lot of levels of government..pfft..

  • Israel used cluster weapons and bombs and Palestinian people are throwing the bombs randomly to the Israeli borders and both side dont care whether the bombs fall on civilians. I hope that this dirty world change immidiately we are all human beings and everyone should awake about all human and humanitarian law. this is people matter and we are all people.

  • why was my coment removed???

  • we need this law, but when the superpower and their puppet allies dont follow them, then the law became discriminating

  • Sadly, Britain and many other empires have done that and much more, that why there is a Red Cross and since 1949 the Geneva Convention, so those events don't happened again. Civilians should be out of the the War.

  • Why don't Brittain own up to their crimes against humanity ie. starving 26000 women & children in concentration camps in 1902 for war purposes?

    Does anyone know about this?
