Summary
Even in war, not everything is allowed. There are rules to prevent and limit human suffering. This is the core of the international humanitarian lawDetailed description
Even during war, not everything is allowed. There are rules to prevent and limit human suffering. This is the core of humanitarian law of war (IHL). Are you interested in this topic? And would you like to coordinate an IHL team and provide information? Then we are looking for you!
Traditionally, the Red Cross has been the guardian and promoter of the International Humanitarian Law of War. One of its tasks is to ensure that as many people as possible acquire knowledge of this law. Because knowledge of the rules can prevent violations in the future. This applies in times of war, but also in times of peace. As a coordinator, you ensure that the briefings are well-planned and run smoothly.
What are you going to do?
- You are the first point of contact for the volunteer HOR advisors in the North Holland region and the link between the volunteers and the professional team. You organize a team meeting every quarter;
- You offer volunteers HOR support in terms of content and logistics in (the preparation of) the information activities. Keeping up with developments in the field of HOR is part of this;
- Networking: you establish and maintain contacts with external parties
- You keep the administration and report this
- If necessary or if you like, you also provide information about HOR.
What are you bringing?
- You have strong communication skills and you have a good command of the Dutch language, both spoken and written.
- You are independent but can function well in a group and motivate the group;
- Your talents are planning, organizing and coordinating and you are solution-oriented;
- You are available for this role approximately 4 hours per week and you live in the North Holland region (Haarlem and surrounding areas, Alkmaar and surrounding areas or Purmerend and surrounding areas)
Familiarity with HOR is a plus, not a requirement and we can definitely bring you up to speed!
What do we offer you?
As a volunteer, you contribute to the work of the Red Cross. That feels good! You get the chance to develop your talents because the Red Cross offers courses and/or training for the purpose of performing your function.

At the Red Cross, we work according to the basic principles and our code of conduct.
