This textbook examines a wide range of humanitarian action issues
in five parts, presented by specialists from different academic
fields. The respective parts reflect the five core modules of the
International NOHA Joint Master's Programme "International
Humanitarian Action": a) World Politics, b) International Law, c)
Public Health, d) Anthropology, and e) Management. The book serves
as a common basis for teaching at all NOHA universities and aims at
imparting the basic knowledge and skills needed to excel in a
complex interdisciplinary and international learning context. It
provides in-depth information on key international humanitarian
principles and values, professional codes of conduct, and the
commitment to their implementation in practice. The book will thus
be useful for all students of the NOHA Joint Master's Programme and
participants of any courses with a similar content, but also for
academics and practitioners affiliated with entities such as
international organisations and NGOs. It may also serve as an
introduction to anyone with an interest in understanding the
numerous and inter-linked facets of humanitarian action.
This book follows the history of the international law of peace and
armed conflict over the last 25 years. It highlights both the
parameters that have remained the same over the years as well as
the new challenges now facing international law. The articles
analyze new developments concerning the prohibition of the use of
force in international relations, self-determination of peoples,
human rights and human security as well as international
coordination of humanitarian assistance.
This book includes contributions from academics, practitioners and
policy-makers connected with the Network on Humanitarian Action
(NOHA), an international association of universities that is
committed to interdisciplinary education and research on
humanitarian action. Celebrating the twentieth anniversary
of NOHA, this book highlights some of the most pressing issues and
challenges facing humanitarian action and explores potential
solutions. Drawing on theory and practice, and spanning a broad
range of subject matter, the book explores the origin of key
concepts such as human security, reconciliation and resilience and
questions their effectiveness in the pursuit of humanitarian
ends. It also charts current developments in the
humanitarian system, in particular in its legal and financial
frameworks. Issues relating to humanitarian stakeholders,
such as the role of the media and the protection of humanitarian
workers, are also addressed. The contributions are influenced by a
range of disciplines, including anthropology, political science,
legal studies and communications.
It is becoming increasingly apparent that there are major gaps in
International Humanitarian Law and Public International Law in the
area of humanitarian assistance. In response international
organizations such as the UN and the EU are developing their own
legal frameworks for humanitarian assistance and the body of
customary law and so-called international disaster response law is
growing steadily. This however shows that a coherent body of law is
far from being a given. The legal reality of international law
pertaining to emergency response is rather broadly spread over
various international legal fields and related documents, covering
situations of armed conflict and natural disasters. This book is
one of the first attempts of linking different legal areas in the
growing field of what could be called the international law of
humanitarian assistance.

The laws governing humanitarian action stand at the intersection of
several fields of international law, regional agreements, soft law
and domestic law. Through in-depth case studies and analysis,
expert scholars and practitioners come together to offer an
interdisciplinary approach, which includes contributions from legal
policy, international relations and philosophical perspectives.
Providing invaluable overviews and insights, this collection of
essays sheds light on the subject and makes sense of the various
elements involved to elucidate the foundations of the different
approaches by the different levels of humanitarian law and policy.
