🚀 LAUNCHING | Today The Deputy Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Mr Alvin Botes & ICRC Southern Africa join at the Colloquium marking the culmination of the 22nd All Africa Course on International Humanitarian Law (IHL) at the University of Johannesburg in Auckland Park.

The Colloquium focused on South Africa’s role in promoting and developing IHL, the formal launch of the board game “Rapid Response: IHL”, and discussions on the voice of youth, artificial intelligence and Autonomous Weapons Systems.

Conflicts in Africa are affecting millions, yet respect for IHL is under pressure. Traditional IHL teaching is no longer enough when conflicts move faster than classrooms.
