During the reporting period, in close cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs and the chair of the Permanent Coordination Group for International Humanitarian Law (IHL) of the IFRC, we reported on the resolutions and commitments adopted at the 33rd International Conference of the RC/RC and the resulting obligations for the Slovenian Red Cross, as well as for the Republic of Slovenia. The accepted commitments of the SRC refer to the following resolutions: Bring IHL “home”: a plan for better national implementation of IHL; RFL respecting privacy, including personal data protection; The mental health and psychosocial needs of people affected by armed conflicts, natural disasters and other disasters; Disaster response regulations that take care of everything; Time to act: Tackling epidemics and pandemics together; Women and leadership in the humanitarian action Movement; Act Today, Shape Tomorrow and the Implementation of the Operational Arrangement Agreement dated November 28, 2005 between Magen David Adom of Israel and the National Society of the Palestine Red Crescent.

There are several ways in which knowledge and awareness of the importance of international humanitarian law is spread. Across the entire international Red Cross and Red Crescent family, competitions are held in this light, in which students participate and test their knowledge. Also last year, it was organized by the Faculty of Law in Ljubljana and under the leadership of Prof. dr. Vasilka Sancin, in cooperation with ICRC, UNHCR and SRC, the Pan-European International Competition for Humanitarian Law and Refugee Law was held. The freelance legal and human resource specialist participated in the organization of an international competition in the role of a judge.
In 2023, a lecture/presentation of the activities of the Slovenian Red Cross, both in the field of IHL and in other fields, was held for representatives of the Slovenian and Dutch armies.
