Online community for national committees and similar entities on IHL
About the Online Community for national committees and similar entities on IHL
This is the only community enabling direct online exchanges among national committees and similar entities on international humanitarian law (IHL) at the universal level. It works on a secured access and aims at facilitating peer-to-peer exchanges among national committees and similar entities on IHL.
The creation of this community follows the repeated request from representatives of many national committees and similar entities on IHL, strongly reiterated during their Universal Meeting in 2016, for a digital tool to facilitate peer-to-peer exchanges among them.
