CURRICULUM WRITING BOARD- INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW

Curriculum Writing Board is underway on a key training programme – International Humanitarian Law (IHL) Course. This initiative, supported by the Government of Switzerland through the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), aims to deepen the understanding and operational application of IHL among security personnel, legal practitioners, and training institutions in the region.
IHL 1
The curriculum development process brings together a team of legal scholars, military planners, and education experts, focusing on building a course that is academically robust, context-specific, and compliant with global legal standards. The board is tasked with crafting tailored learning objectives, content modules, and a comprehensive course syllabus that reflect both global best practices and local realities.
IHL 2B
A central feature of the curriculum design is the integration of gender perspectives and inclusivity in the study and implementation of IHL—ensuring the course aligns with IPSTC’s values and the broader Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) agenda.
These collaborative efforts are expected to yield a practical and impactful training course—empowering professionals to uphold humanitarian principles and protect vulnerable populations in conflict-affected environments.
