Video games? Humanitarian Laws of War? Learning?! If you
like those three things, and don’t think that free ice
cream is the “solution” to kids indulging in violent video games, you
should attend the Red Cross’s upcoming panel discussion
on the incorporation of international humanitarian law into video games.
Despite various studies
discrediting the argument that violent video games lead to an increase in
violence, the debate rages on.
The Red Cross though has adopted a different approach with war games believing
they are a perfect platform for promoting social good. Their upcoming talk will
focus on how video games can integrate and educate players about the laws of
armed conflict (international humanitarian law). Other topics will include censorship
and freedom of speech issues for video games. Hope to see you there.
