Participants will have an understanding of:

• the legal challenges and ethical dilemmas posed by the use of new technologies in armed conflicts;
• the rules governing humanitarian access, including under occupation, during sieges or blockades;
• the prohibition on attacks on civilian infrastructure and use of starvation as a method of warfare,
• the operational challenges of delivering humanitarian relief, and providing water, sanitation and hygiene facilities in armed conflict.

These competencies provide a foundation for professional pathways in humanitarian field work and programme management, legal advising and compliance, diplomacy and policy, civil-military cooperation, conflict reporting, and IHL dissemination, but also for graduate study in Peace and Conflict Studies, international law and related fields. The course also offers direct exchange and networking with experienced practitioners from the Austrian Red Cross, Doctors without Borders and the Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (BMEIA).

Unit 2 explores the use of technology, including AI, in armed conflict, the challenges of arranging humanitarian access, and the provision of water, sanitation and hygiene facilities in armed conflict.
