Abstract

The course runs through existing legal and political modes of humanitarian actions and humanitarian assistance. Course content is divided into two sections, which are International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and development of disaster relief. The modes of armed conflicts are investigated from the perspective of liaison between IHL and Human Rights Law. Applicability of the Geneva Conventions 1949 to different types of armed conflicts is discussed. The course introduces methodology applied for legal analysis of humanitarian aid and responsibility to protect.
