What's happening in Syria? - CBBC Newsround The violence in Syria began in March 2011 and the middle eastern country has been crippled by a brutal civil war ever since. Since then, the United Nations estimates more than 200,000 people have died in the clashes between President Bashar al-Assad's government and rebel forces who want him out.

New Zealand Red Cross - Wars, Laws and Humanity Also known as the law of war, international humanitarian law (IHL) protects people who are not taking part in fighting: civilians, wounded soldiers and prisoners of war. It also restricts choice of weapons and how they can be used. The best-known of these laws are the Geneva Conventions. For IHL to be useful in times of war it must be understood during times of peace. Our current awareness campaigns Education programmes Make Your Case: IHL Moot Court Competition 2015 Together with ICRC, we will hold the fourth New Zealand International Humanitarian Law Moot Court Competition in Wellington on 4 – 5 December 2015. One team from each law school will have the opportunity to battle it out in Wellington. The winning team will be supported to represent New Zealand at the Asia Pacific Regional IHL Moot Court Competition in Hong Kong in March 2016. The 2015 moot problem will be released in September 2015. IHL Moot Competition Rules - 2015 IHL Moot Problem 2015 Women and War Even Wars Have Laws

As yet there is still no scientific proof that relates these diseases to radiation, but Mallery-Blythe is among a not insignificant number of scientists and practitioners concerned by those studies that do highlight cause for more precaution. Dr Erica Mallery-Blythe discusses the effects of Wi-Fi radiation with a class of schoolchildren [PHOTO: GEOFF PUGH] Over the past few years, as Wi-Fi, laptops and iPads have become increasingly prevalent in classrooms, Mallery-Blythe says “hundreds” of families have sought her help with what they believe to be EMF-related diseases and health issues.
