Human rights is a dimension that transcends all phases and employs all components of a peace operation, leading to often complex implementation planning and coordination, which this course traces and delineates. The course begins by reviewing the landmark documents and instruments indispensible to the protection of human rights in theory, before demonstrating how such protection is enforced and performed on the ground. It discusses the various types of human rights violations, identifies the groups of people especially at risk, and conducts a thorough analysis on the concept of protection – the core of human rights work in peace operations.

  Course Protection of Civilians A+

  The protection of civilians is now a recurrent theme in peacekeeping mandates. Yet, while much academic work has been done to highlight the issue, little doctrine or guidance has been produced. This course seeks to address some of that deficit by providing a historical perspective as well as suggesting some practical options for consideration for those undertaking this task. Consisting of five lessons, the course begins by discussing the contemporary operating environment for peacekeepers and… Show more The protection of civilians is now a recurrent theme in peacekeeping mandates. Yet, while much academic work has been done to highlight the issue, little doctrine or guidance has been produced. This course seeks to address some of that deficit by providing a historical perspective as well as suggesting some practical options for consideration for those undertaking this task. Consisting of five lessons, the course begins by discussing the contemporary operating environment for peacekeepers and how the changing nature of conflict necessitates the protection of civilians. In order to actualize this rather ambiguous concept, the author then explores the legal basis and mandates that have been produced on protection and outlines the threats that peacekeepers face. The course then turns to look at the current guidance, and the various stakeholders, and ends with a look at the key principles of protection and how they can effectively be put into practice.
