INTERNATIONAL LAW FRAMEWORK FOR FOREIGN HUMANITARIAN AID IN TIMES OF PEACE

Summary/Abstract: The establishment of foreign humanitarian aid in times of peace is primarily related to various natural disasters and other large-scale accidents when it is necessary to provide support to the vulnerable population of the affected country. In international law, there is no general international treaty which would comprehensively regulate the issue of cross-border humanitarian aid in times of peace. The current rules of international law that constitute the normative framework for the provision of foreign humanitarian aid are scattered in a large number of heterogeneous international instruments and sources of different legal force. They are often vague and come down to a few general principles applicable in all situations, irrespective of the nature of the peace-time disaster. These intenational rules include the norms of international treaty and customary law, as well as a large number of legally non-binding rules that fall into the domain of soft law. Thus, the international legal framework for the provision of foreign humanitarian aid in times of peace is still not properly systematized, organized and fully completed.
