On Saturday, 29 November, teams converged on Victoria University of Wellington to compete in our annual international humanitarian law Moot Court competition.

Humanitarian law — also known as the rules of war — applies to armed conflicts. Humanitarian law protects people who aren’t directly involved in armed conflict and restricts what those involved can do.

On 8 November we held our 94th National Council Annual General Meeting in Wellington. National Council is our highest governing body and is responsible for electing our National President, National Board members, and National Youth Representative.

When Ingrid Viafara Liu arrived in New Zealand in 2018, she brought with her more than a suitcase. She carried years of resilience marked by hardship and a dream to build a new life filled with opportunity and peace.

She hoped to leave behind the instability and fear that had followed her across borders and years. What she did not expect was how much courage and healing she would still need to rebuild her life in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Our 94th National Council Annual General Meeting is on 8 November in Wellington.

On Thursday 27 November, our Wellington Service Centre at 39 Webb Street will move to Red Cross House at 69 Molesworth Street.
