Laws of war
International humanitarian law (IHL) also known as the ‘Laws of war’ is a set of rules which seek, for humanitarian reasons, to limit the effects of armed conflict. Those reporting on them must do so accurately to help ensure respect for the laws of war and protection of those affected. The law also includes specific rights and obligations relating to journalists and media professionals, making IHL, a valuable tool when reporting in or encountering conflict settings.
Australian Red Cross acknowledges the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of this land, their ancestors and Elders, past and present.
