Academic conferences

One of our key objectives is to raise public awareness of the importance of IHL and its application as well as to encourage discussions on this chapter. Through conferences organized at Canadian universities across the country, the Canadian Red Cross engages in dialogue with professors, students and legislators on various issues related to IHL, and stays on the lookout for contemporary trends, challenges and debates.
