According to a recent survey commissioned by the Australian Red Cross, 40% of Australians believe it is okay to torture captured enemy soldiers, while 90% think the international laws of war need to be strengthened.
As part of the Australian Red Cross' mandate to promote and educate the Australian public about the laws of war, better known as International Humanitarian Law, an integrated campaign "Even Wars Have Laws" has been launched across Australia.
Together with an online component where Australians can have their say, cities around Australia have been adorned with an "in your face" ambient campaign, bringing the reality of these laws closer to home by encouraging people to learn more about International Humanitarian Law.
