HI 036: CERTIFICATE IN HUMAN RIGHTS IN HUMANITARIAN ACTION AND DISASTER RELIEF COURSE

 

A pressing task facing the international community is to meet the growing challenge presented by colossal humanitarian problems which are either left without a solution or inadequately dealt with under existing law and practice. Despite considerable progress in recent decades in the humanitarian field, especially through the United Nations and other international bodies, existing legal instruments and their implementation reveal certain gaps and imperfections.
Although principles of humanitarian assistance have received legal, moral, and functional expression at the International level throughout the 20th century, the measures adopted in specific circumstances have often been inadequate as a response to the enormous needs which have had to be met. The relief system today functions with the participation of a wide variety of international actors including many organizations charged with responsibilities for humanitarian assistance tasks. This course identifies with an intention of applying factors that can contribute to improving humanitarian actions and the International humanitarian order.
The topics to be covered include the following;

  • Introduction- the concept of disaster, International humanitarian assistance, International law, and organization.
  • Historical perspectives on Humanitarian Assistance- custom and law in armed conflict situations, International relief for refugees, relief in natural disasters,
  • Relief Actions in armed conflict- the Geneva conventions and the Red Cross, assistance for members of armed forces, assistance for civilians.
