Natascha & Jan Tijmen at Slot Loevestein
March 21
On Saturday evening, March 21, we open the doors for an evening full of deepening and new insights about humanitarian law of war.
What are the limits of violence in wartime?
Journalist and program maker Natascha van Weezel will talk with Jan Tijmen Ninck Blok, senior legal advisor and expert in humanitarian war law at the Netherlands Red Cross.
Together they will explore the workings of the law of war and the seven basic principles of the Red Cross. What do these rules mean in the practice of contemporary conflicts? What moral and legal dilemmas do aid workers and lawyers face? And why are these questions so urgent just now?
With the sharp eye and narrative style of Natascha van Weezel and the in-depth knowledge and experience of Jan Tijmen Ninck Blok, it promises to be an inspiring and stimulating evening. And that at a place where people have been thinking about war, law and peace for centuries: Slot Loevestein.
