4. Post Graduate Diploma in International Humanitarian Laws

International Humanitarian Law which governs situations of International and internal armed conflicts has assumed considerable significance in different parts of the world during the recent past on account of proliferation of armed conflicts and armed violence.

The possibility of prosecuting violators of humanitarian law war criminals from recent armed conflicts and the possibility of creation on a permanent International Criminal Court have drawn increasing attention to Humanitarian Law issues during the last few years. The Course is for Armed and Paramilitary and Police Forces, NGOs associated with human rights related work, human rights activists, legal professionals such as lawyers, law officers working for the Government, Judges, Teachers and Students of Law, Political Science, Defense & Military Studies and Human Rights.
