Bangkok 2011 Core Professional Training on Humanitarian Law & Policy

The Core Trainings are conducted over three full days and serve as unique opportunities for acquisition and refinement of the skills necessary to address contemporary humanitarian challenges. Lectures, case studies, and simulation exercises are integrated into a curriculum narrative informed by legal principles, recent scholarship, contemporary challenges, and current debates. The trainings are tailored to professionals interested in gaining foundational knowledge, developing a strategic perspective, and engaging in exploratory discussions regarding potential responses to emerging legal and policy questions.
The May 2011 Core Training will be offered by PHAP in cooperation with the Program on Humanitarian Policy and Conflict Research at Harvard University.

Those attending the Core Training on Humanitarian Law and Policy in Bangkok in May 2011 are also encouraged to stay for the two-day Thematic Workshop on Protection of Civilians and Islamic Law. If you are interested in staying for the Thematic Workshop, please simply indicate such in your application to the Core Training - there is no need to apply separately for the two events.
Please note that, starting in the 2011 calendar year, all participants to Advanced Professional Trainings must be members in good standing of PHAP. (See Member Benefits and Dues.) There is no need, however, to apply separately for PHAP membership and for the trainings. Non-members may apply for trainings directly, and their applications will simultaneously be entered into the review process for PHAP membership.
