Hi all,

Below is a link to a short article that I wrote for the UCC publication, The Boolean, explaining the issues around the development of legal frameworks for international humanitarian assistance following natural and human-made disasters which might be of interest.

Kind regards

Thanks for posting your

Thanks for posting your article Doug. It is very interesting - espectially as I don't know much about  international law and humanitarian assistance at all. Just a question, in your article you state: " Would non-binding minimum standards or guidelines be more flexible and appropriate in the complex aftermath of a major disaster, and would Governments be more willing to support such non-legal measures rather than being constrained by new international legal obligations?"

I would be interested to know what approach/method you are going to use to answer this question?
