Erica Harper: International Law and Standards Applicable in Natural Disaster Situations
The Basel Institute on Governance has been asked to contribute to the elaboration of a book published by IDLO (International Development Law Organisation): "International Law and Standards Applicable in Natural Disaster Situations", edited by Erica Harper.
International Development Law Organization (IDLO), 2009. ISBN: 978-88-96155-00-4.
Authors: Jo Wells, Bridget Slean, Scott Leckie, Gretta Fenner, Mirella Mahlstein, Fernando de Medina-Rosales, Paul Bode, Mattias Bryneson, Rasa Sekulovic, Patrizia Gattoni, Nilofer Qazi and Esteban Leon.
Abstract: This book aims to stimulate thought and action in relation to establishing human rights frameworks in countries recovering from natural disasters. The authors regard this as essential in order to protect the rights and restore the dignity of the victims of natural disasters. While a substantial body of relevant law exists, the law is only effective if disaster recovery planners and the people working in the field know and understand it. By building legal protections into preparedness and response planning, the recovery timetable can be shortened and order restored more quickly and effectively. At the same time, this process will help to uncover and address systemic injustices that cause continuing poverty and social unrest.
