comissions a preliminary legal study on IDRL |
As part of
the project on International Disaster response Law, the International
Federation has commissioned Professor Horst Fischer of Bochum
University in Germany to examine the existing legal instruments
relating to international disaster response.
Professor Horst Fischer has been a key contributor to the IDRL
initiative and was a presenter at the IDRL Workshop hosted by
the Federation in February 2001.
Since this time, some 130 documents relating to IDRL have been
collated and analysed. A report identifying some of the key
trends will be delivered to the Federation in August 2002.
This preliminary legal study will be an important tool in raising
awareness of IDRL issues and generating debate within the international
community on the best ways to ensure that the laws relating
to disasters are relevant and better understood by governments
and disaster response personnel. |
