| Description |
|
This guide, intended for humanitarian practitioners and their agencies, identifies the human rights dimensions of humanitarian work and explains the relevance of international human rights law to assistance activities. It provides a summary of the principal applicable provisions of human rights law, humanitarian law and refugee law, emphasising the links between them. The guide seeks to promote a fuller understanding of the legal context of humanitarian assistance and recommends concerted efforts by humanitarian actors to encourage belligerents to meet their legal obligations. |
