Where we work
We are a global organisation with local presence: our staff mainly work from our our three regional units and possess strong knowledge of international law and the region they work in.
The IHL Centre is made up of three geographical context units. We also work on additional special contexts globally, including Ukraine, Myanmar and Colombia. More information is available below.

The Middle East unit provides analysis, training, and advice on the situations in Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Yemen and the wider region.
Special contexts
