When covering armed conflict, it’s essential that media professionals understand the basic principles and rules of international humanitarian law (IHL) because these can provide a lens through which to analyse and report.

Features of the rapid e-course

In this course, you will learn about the principles and application of IHL, including how IHL is enforced, and which groups are afforded special protections. Frequent self-assessments reinforce the lessons and help you to measure your progress. Scenario-based assignments engage you to solve specific problems and point you to useful resources.
