Our approach
The team provides context-specific legal analysis, training, advocacy and technical support on international humanitarian law and related protection issues.
Drawing on strong regional expertise, it works with humanitarian and diplomatic actors and other partners to strengthen understanding of the law, address urgent humanitarian protection and access concerns, and support more effective humanitarian advocacy and action.
