Event information
IFRC Disaster Law has launched the Disaster Law Database, the world’s largest collection of documents relating to disaster law.
The Disaster Law Database was established to bring together in one place the resources needed for practitioners and academics working in the field of disaster law.
The materials in the Disaster Law Database come from the international, regional and domestic levels, and from a wide range of actors including states, international organisations, the IFRC and academic institutions.
The Disaster Law Database is organised by the following four categories:
Documents of international organisations
Documents of transnational private actors
Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement documents
Treaties
The Disaster Law Database is an initiative of IFRC Disaster Law and Roma Tre University's Jean Monnet Project ‘Disseminating Disaster Law for Europe’. The Database was developed by: Prof. Giulio Bartolini, Dr. Eleonora Branca and Dr. Carlo De Stefano of Roma Tre University; and by Isabelle Granger and Rachel Macleod of IFRC Disaster Law. Support has also been provided by: Dr. Dug Cubie and students of the University College Cork; Dr. John Hopkins and students of the University of Canterbury School of Law; and Dr Susan Breau and students of the University of Victoria Faculty of Law.
