Human Rights in Humanitarian Crises (HRHC) 6

Students will examine the related but distinct bodies of human rights and humanitarian law, which both provide fundamental protections for individuals and groups. This will include a critical examination of the origins, principles, and applications of these bodies of law. The course provides participants with a framework for understanding the legal aspects of delivering humanitarian assistance and the necessary tools to fulfill their roles by introducing applicable conventions and protocols.

Gain a deep understanding of international law; gain expertise in negotiating with other actors and navigating the various logistics of the humanitarian’s reality that sets formal standards and laws against the realities of on-the-ground challenges.
