Today on the show we're saying good-bye to almost a decade of this podcast. We started this podcast to inform audiences about International Humanitarian Law. We'll talk about what's next, look back at some of our most memorable moments, including one of our first episodes in 2017 produced by Nikki Clark, my predecessor, and review some of our favorite episodes from the past few years.

We won't be returning with additional episodes, but we thank you listeners for supporting this project and opening your ears and hearts to powerful humanitarian discussions and stories. We'll still be here engaging in new ways to tell you more about conflict and the people caught in the middle of it.

You'll continue to hear from us on other podcasts, in the news, at events across the US and Canada, and at our website, where you can learn more about what we're working on.

You can also continue to follow us on X at @ICRC_dc.

According to the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA), there are around 81,000 Americans missing and unaccounted for from World War II, the Vietnam War, the Cold War, the Gulf Wars, and other conflicts. Today on the podcast we get a first-hand look at the US culture of honoring the dead with dignity by learning how the US military accounts for their deceased and missing servicemembers. Then we turn to an interview with one of International Committee of the Red Cross's forensic experts to look at how militaries across the globe do this same work.

Nowadays on the global stage, the states of the Gulf Cooperation Council: Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Bahrain, and Kuwait are shaping a new collective role, in which influence, funding, and humanitarian engagement intersect in powerful ways. Today on the show we're focused on the—at times—complex and nuanced humanitarian role these states play on the global stage. Then turn to an interview with Mamadou Sow, head of the International Committee of the Red Cross's delegation to the Gulf States, to explain how we work with these to support humanitarian action and ensure that the laws of war and the obligations of states engaged in conflict are upheld.
