HPCR International's Professional Training on Humanitarian Law and Policy is tailored to meet the needs of practitioners and policymakers. United Nations staff, diplomats, government officials, and professionals from non-governmental organizations will find the curriculum designed to address the legal, policy, and practical challenges encountered in humanitarian operations in situations of armed conflict. Others with substantial interest and relevant experience, including journalists, members of the military and scholars, are also invited to apply.

Selection of Participants

The Core Professional Training on Humanitarian Law and Policy is specifically designed for mid-career professionals.

All Core trainings are conducted in English, therefore applicants are required to demonstrate a good working knowledge of the language. No translation will be provided.
