Solving wicked humanitarian problems: a conversation with Dr Helen Durham AO
Dr Helen Durham AO, CEO of RedR Australia and a leading figure in international humanitarian law, joins Robin Davies for a wide-ranging conversation about her career, the challenges of protecting civilians in conflict, and the future of humanitarian action. Durham, who was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia in 2017 for her distinguished service to humanitarian and criminal law, reflects on her journey from grassroots legal work to senior leadership at the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and her current efforts to strengthen Australia’s crisis response capabilities. The discussion explores her pivotal role in global legal reforms, the complexities of working with diverse actors-from military commanders to non-state armed groups-and her commitment to practical, culturally sensitive solutions in humanitarian settings.
