PEER-TO-PEER EXCHANGE MEETING OF ACTIVE NATIONAL IHL COMMITTEES

We are sharing experiences to promote best practices toward formulating a stronger and consolidated national approach in IHL implementation and pushing forward IHL priorities in West Africa. Representatives from the National International Humanitarian Law Committee (NIHLC) of Nigeria, Ghana, The Gambia, and Sierra Leone are being hosted by Liberia on a two-day Peer-to-Peer exchange meeting. We organized the meeting along with the Liberia IHL Committee with support from the ICRC Liberia Office. The meeting is discussing the mandate and Function, Composition, establishment and structure, resources and Working Procedure of the NIHLC among other meaningful themes.
