What is Raid Cross?
Raid Cross is an activity that uses international humanitarian law as an instrument for encouraging more extensive thought about human behaviour. It focuses on the protection of life and human dignity in wartime and, more generally, in all the experiences of daily life.

Respect for IHL can help contain the escalation of violence, as well as the destruction and suffering caused by armed conflict. It can also promote a return to peaceful means of resolving conflicts that prevent unnecessary suffering and preserve human dignity.

Adolescents are surrounded by violence. Usually they see it in political or historical terms (through the media, teaching and literature) or in the context of amusements (video games, movies). The purpose of Raid Cross is to make these adolescents aware of the reality of armed conflict and humanitarian action, thus giving them tools for interpreting events, the news, and violence in general.

Like every other programme for disseminating international humanitarian law and creating awareness of humanitarian problems, Raid Cross does not address the political and ideological roots of any particular conflict. For more information on the game, download the overview .

I know the Raid Cross and want to use it:
It’s necessary for the facilitators who want to organise a Raid Cross to understand that the aim of this game is to heighten the adolescents’ awareness of the principles of international humanitarian law. That’s why it’s indispensable that they take time to learn more about these principles through this website and through Red Cross Red Crescent National Societies. The future facilitators can also contact the delegations of the International Federation and the ICRC to learn more. How it is played.

To get the game:
It’s on-line on FedNet, the extranet of the International Federation. To get the game, you will first need a FedNet log in. To find the game on FedNet, once you have logged in go to Activities and then to Youth. There you will find the link. You can also use the direct link once inside FedNet: https://fednet.ifrc.org/sw82171.asp.

If you don't have access to FedNet, contact your National Society, or contact youth@ifrc.org for assistance.
