As part of the IPU series 'A conversation with...', we interview parliamentarians and experts from all over the world to find out who they represent and what motivates them.
In this special edition, we speak to Pierre Krähenbühl, Director-General of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the organization ensuring humanitarian protection and assistance for people affected by armed conflict and other violence. He discusses the challenges facing international humanitarian law and what parliamentarians can do to support humanitarian action.
This interview was filmed during the 151st IPU Assembly with its overarching theme: Upholding humanitarian norms and supporting humanitarian action in times of crisis.
The views and opinions expressed by the parliamentarians and experts are their own and do not necessarily reflect the IPU’s position.
