    The Institute for International Law of Peace and Armed Conflict (IFHV) of Ruhr University Bochum is one of the leading institutions in Europe for research and teaching on humanitarian crises. Coming from a long tradition in scientific analysis of international humanitarian law and human rights, the Institute today combines interdisciplinary research in the fields of law, social science, geoscience, and public health. The Institute's research examines the origins of humanitarian crises; the legal frameworks before, during, and after crises; the impact of crises on people, societies, and institutions; and the responses of states, international organizations, and nongovernmental organizations to crises. We consider it part of our mission to promote international humanitarian law and principles. We regularly publish our research findings in our bilingual peer-reviewed journals 'Journal of International Law of Peace and Armed Conflict' (JILPAC), 'Journal on International Peace and Organization' (Die Friedens-Warte) and in the 'Journal of Humanitarian Action' (JIHA), among others, in our legal newsletter 'Bofaxe', which also appears in the Voelkerrechtsblog, in our 'IFHV Working Papers', in our book series 'Bochumer Schriften zur Friedenssicherung und zum Humanitären Völkerrecht' and, together with Bündnis Entwicklung Hilft, in the annual WorldRiskReport.

    Member since 13 May 2020
    The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) is a common global scale for classifying the severity and magnitude of food insecurity and malnutrition. It is the result of a partnership of various organizations at the global, regional, and country levels dedicated to developing and maintaining the highest possible quality in food security and nutrition analysis. Increasingly, the IPC is the international standard for classifying food insecurity and malnutrition. The IPC is a ‘big picture’ classification focusing on providing information that is consistently required by stakeholders around the world for strategic decision-making. Nuanced information may also be needed to inform particular decisions or answer certain questions. The IPC provides the essential information needed in a wide range of contexts in consistent, comparable and accountable ways. The IPC global partnership is comprised of 19 organizations and inter-governmental institutions including Action Against Hunger (AAH), CARE International, Comité Permanent Inter-Etats de Lutte Contre la Sécheresse au Sahel (Permanent Interstate Committee for Drought Control in the Sahel) (CILSS), Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET), the Global Food Security Cluster, the Global Nutrition Cluster, Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission, Oxford Committee for Famine Relief (Oxfam), Southern African Development Community (SADC), Save the Children, Sistema de la Integración Centroamericana (Central American Integration System) (SICA), World Food Programme (WFP), United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the World Bank, the Wolrd Health Organization (WHO), UNDP and IFPRI.

    In April 2018 the UN Secretary-General provided direction for IOM and UNHCR to lead and coordinate the regional response to the situation of refugees and migrants from Venezuela seeking access to basic rights and services, protection, as well as self-reliance and socio-economic integration. Further to this direction, the Regional Inter-Agency Coordination Platform was established as a forum to coordinate the response efforts across 17 countries of Latin America and the Caribbean, with a particular focus on achieving coherency and consistency throughout the response. At national and sub-regional levels, the Regional Platform is complemented by local coordination mechanisms. Dedicated National and Sub-regional Platforms, collaborating closely with host governments are charged with the operational coordination and implementation of the regional Refugee and Migrant Response Plan (RMRP). Such coordination platforms are in place in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru - at national levels - and in the Caribbean, Central America & Mexico and Southern Cone - at sub-regional levels. Their configuration is based on each situational context and the operational capacities of governments and RMRP partners, taking into account existing coordination structures.

    Free Legal aid is a most essential element of a fair, humane and effective criminal justice system based on the rule of law. Legal aid is a foundation for the enjoyment of other rights, including the right to a fair trial, as defined in paragraph 1 of Article 11 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a prerequisite for the exercise of these rights and an important safeguard of fairness and public trust in the criminal justice process. All persons under the jurisdiction of Ukraine, including citizens of Ukraine, and foreigners and stateless persons legally staying in Ukraine, are eligible for all types of legal services. According to the provisions of Article 1 of the Law about Free Legal Aid, free legal aid means legal aid guaranteed by the state and fully or partially funded from the State Budget of Ukraine, local budgets, and other sources. The Law defines legal aid as provision of legal services to safeguard human and civil rights and freedoms, protect such rights and freedoms, and restore them if violated. The legal services include provision of legal information, advice, and clarifications on legal issues; preparing appeals, complaints, and procedural and other legal documents; representation of persons before courts, other government agencies, local self-government agencies, and other persons; defense against charges; and facilitating a person’s access to secondary legal aid and mediation. Free primary legal aid (FPLA) means a type of government guarantee that involves providing information about a person’s rights and freedoms, procedures for their exercise, restoration if violated, and appeals against decisions, actions, or omissions by government and local-self-government agencies, officials, and officers. Free secondary legal aid (FSLA) means a type of government guarantee that involves providing equal opportunities for access of persons to justice.
