Event Report

For full details of the event proceedings, please download the Event Report


Background

Following the recent floods in the United Kingdom, it appears timely to consider the legal issues associated with disasters. This event will provide an opportunity to hear from experts in this field, in order to assess the adequacy of the current legal frameworks on disaster relief and assistance to victims. Presentations will cover international law, as well as provide a national standpoint, including the Model Act on the Facilitation and Regulation of International Disaster Relief and Initial Recovery Assistance (developed by the IFRC, OCHA and IPU). Representatives from the British Red Cross and the Cabinet Office will also offer a particular insight into the United Kingdom's response to disasters.

This event will be followed by a drinks reception.
