Background

Over the last ten years, non-conflict disasters have killed nearly a million people and affected 1.8 billion world-wide. They are among the largest threats to human security and development facing the world today. Is international law stepping up? This one-of-a-kind course will provide participants with a comprehensive overview of existing international law and key regulatory issues related to the prevention and management of natural and man-made disasters. Through a mixture of lectures, practical exercises and group work, it will provide a dynamic and tailored learning environment.

The programme seeks to offer a comprehensive overview of the main practical, diplomatic and military issues related to the legal aspects of disaster prevention and management activities. Topics will be covered using a plenary-based approach complemented by practical exercises designed to test the participants’ ability to find outcome oriented solutions through the application of relevant IDL provisions. The course is tailored towards practitioners (e.g. staff of civil protection departments; staff of Red Cross and Red Crescent societies; NGOs) involved in disaster management; graduate and post-graduate students with an interest in International Disaster Law and Humanitarian issues; and professionals with an academic background in the areas of law, security studies, international relations, humanitarian assistance or other related fields, eager to expand their knowledge on International Disaster Law.

Faculty

Speakers will include Dr. Eduardo Valencia-Ospina (Member of the International Law Commission, Former Special Rapporteur on the Protection of Persons in the Event of Disasters) along with other distinguished speakers from academia and key international organizations such as the IFRC, WHO, IOM.

Target audience The course is designed for graduate and post-graduate students (in subjects such as law, humanitarian or development studies, international relations) as well as disaster management and humanitarian practitioners from government, international and regional organizations, NGOs, and Red Cross/Red Crescent National Societies
