South Sudan: How to protect civilians in conflict? | DW Documentary

In South Sudan, peace remains fragile years after the end of a brutal civil war. The film tells the story of a former soldier and diplomat determined to teach the "rules of war" to potential future combatants..

Albert Schoneveld is a Red Cross worker whose job is to conduct workshops for the military, police and other armed parties on the "rules of war" - in case the conflict flares up again. First and foremost, combatants learn that civilians must be protected in any conflict. Schoneveld's questions also provoke reflections on the consequences of war, ethical principles, and one's own role in the army. The film shows his efforts to change behavior in a country where atrocities were committed by all sides during the civil war. Those who use weapons against others, he believes, should learn to treat civilians, combatants and prisoners alike with more humanity.
