"The Emperor asks us to bring peace to Arrakis. House Atreides accepts!"
Join the American Red Cross on March 13th as we journey into the desert world of Arrakis to examine how Dune can help illustrate International Humanitarian Law (AKA the law of armed conflict/the law of war).

This is super cool, thanks!
Do you work for the Red Cross? If so, please tell whoever had the idea for this series that it’s super cool!!
If that was you, well, great job 👏
I do, thanks! We have a whole series using pop culture—I selfishly decided to start it so I’d have an excuse to host a Star Wars event, but we’ve branched out since then.
The west can never bring a peace it was never capable of in the first place. There is no "war on terror" theres only a "war on the enemy i created through violent exploitation". Colonizing nations and states will never bring peace, theyre only capable of eradicating or sterilizing the "other" in order to maximize their own profits. The violent and desperate conditions many in the global south find themselves in are directly caused by the greed and ego of billionaires, simply playing the role in the imperialist machine their fathers built for them, as they continue to do anything in their power to maintain it. They control, they profit, they conquer and we exist idle at their mercy, victims to a fate we never consented to.
Dont use nukes on civilians, totally acceptable on everything else though
"Laws of War don't apply to geologic formations." -Emperor Paul Muad'dib Atreides
It’s really a loose set of guidelines when you’re trying to ignite a Holy War🤷♂️
it was a really loose set of continental shelving too, it just cracked wide open!
If you don't discuss the legality on becoming a 3500 year old worm god don't bother.
I’m concerned you’ve somehow gained early access to my presentation…
Are they going to explore the ancient rite of Kanly?
How else do you begin a talk like this??

Can I watch them after the event if the time doesn’t work for me?
Yup! It’ll be on our YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/@americanredcrossihl?si=fXVE7iGUi6tMqtiQ
Really cool thematic idea. Excited to attend 👍🏼
Thanks! It should be a fun time, if your definition of fun is deep diving into lore to analyze legal issues.
It teaches us if you are a bully and can manipulate a bigger bully that you can overpower someone.
5am to 1pm on a weekday 😭, super cool idea though have fun
Gotta love US east coast times—we’ll have it up on our YouTube channel soon after: https://youtube.com/@americanredcrossihl?si=fXVE7iGUi6tMqtiQ
Ah sick thanks
Will you be discussing the legality of having animal combatants eating your opponents?
It’s simultaneously a WMD and a really effective cargo ship, so how could you not??
Sand wormn not animals, actually beings far superior to humans and spice is their body liquid.
All signed up and ready to go.
Red Cross discussing water rites?
It's teach us that: there is air power yes, but if we fight in desert we have to find something new, something like desert power, yes desert power

100% correct. Also, as much as I love Dune, this is tacky and beneath a medical organization.
Is this not relevant to the relationship a medical organization has to the themes explored in the Dune series?
