Description

This module surveys the field of humanitarian protection, in three parts. The first part discusses the origins of the humanitarian protection regime, including the development of international institutions and their growing role in the management of conflict and complex humanitarian emergencies. You will study the key pillars of international law providing protections for vulnerable populations, and the context out of which these provisions emerged. The second part of the module discusses the actors associated with the protection regime, including international organisations, regional organisations, and civil society organisations. The final part of the module, part three, discusses the responsibilities of international actors with regard to conflict management, civilian protection, and humanitarian assistance, including peacekeeping, peacebuilding, and international criminal justice.听
