Implications of Foreign Fighters from New Zealand becoming involved in a Conflict Abroad (Interview - Marnie Lloydd)

Marnie Lloydd is a lecturer at Victoria University of Wellington whose research looks into international law related to armed conflicts. Marnie worked for more than ten years as a Protection Delegate and Legal Adviser with the International Committee of the Red Cross, undertaking deployments in Ethiopia, Sri Lanka, Chad, Afghanistan and DR Congo. Today we talk about foreign fighters leaving New Zealand and how these individuals could become open to prosecution from international law and terrorism laws here in New Zealand. We also discuss the Geneva Conventions and how they would apply in this context, looking at the political issues for legislation that might look to prevent individuals fighting in a conflict abroad.
