The podcast episodes discuss various aspects of international humanitarian law in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The episodes explore allegations of potential violations of international humanitarian law, such as the Geneva Conventions, by parties involved in these conflicts. They also examine the challenges of providing humanitarian aid and the politicization of such efforts, which are closely tied to the principles and application of international humanitarian law.

For example, episode The escalating attacks in Gaza discusses how the applicability of international laws around protecting civilians factors into the allegations against Israeli leaders. Similarly, episode Confused About Biden's Israel Arms Policy? We Try to Explain focuses on the potential violation of international humanitarian law by Israel and the US's assessment of it.

The episodes also touch on the broader implications of international humanitarian law, such as the International Court of Justice's case against Israel for alleged genocide in Gaza (The Rules of War) and the efforts to hold Russia accountable for war crimes in Ukraine (20. Will Russia be held accountable for its war on Ukraine?).
