The Red Cross helps people in need. Around the corner - and far away. Worldwide, millions of people experience the consequences of war every day. The humanitarian law of war offers protection to citizens, medical workers and prisoners of war. Humanitarian law of war and the Red Cross are inextricably linked. The shared value: human dignity.
What are you going to do?
The Brabants HOR team is working hard. The voluntary advisers are strongly committed to the dissemination of humanitarian law of war (HOR) in the Netherlands.
