9th International Disaster Law course

Disasters are among the largest threats to human security and development the world is facing today. Is international law stepping up? Are humanitarian actors, international/national institutions and scholars ready to face legal and institutional challenges raised by disasters caused by natural hazards or human activities? This hybrid specialised course will provide participants with a comprehensive overview of the existing international provisions and key regulatory issues related to the prevention and management of disasters, including through a residential workshop focusing on the challenges they pose and how they are addressed in the European context.
