Description:
As part of the international Advanced Trainings series, HPCR International announces the thematic workshop on Occupation Law and Peacebuilding. The thematic workshop is organized in partnership with the Jordan Institute of Diplomacy and will take place February 25-26, 2009 in Amman, Jordan. The thematic workshops are tailored to provide mid-career policymakers and practitioners working in the field of humanitarian assistance and protection in conflicts worldwide both dynamic expert instruction and policy tools that are directly linked to practice and contemporary challenges. The two-day thematic workshop on Occupation Law and Peacebuilding will cover such topics as "Occupation in the broader context of IHL", "Beginning and end of occupation", and "Responsibilities of the occupying power" through interactive presentations, case studies and simulation exercises. Applicants to the thematic workshop are expected to demonstrate significant exposure to IHL, either through practical experience, or through completion of the core training or another advanced training in IHL.
In partnership with:
HPCR International is an independent non-profit organization based in Brussels with activities around the world. Their work is aimed at developing innovative approaches and strategic policy tools to address complex security challenges, particularly in situations of armed conflict.
Pursuant to this law, and since the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs required a highly trained corps of diplomats capable of representing Jordan and serving its interests abroad effectively, the JID was restructured to make it the principal executive tool for training Jordanian diplomats and others from different government organizations who are involved in diplomatic work.
