Police Academy Host Training Courses with Red Cross on International Law

The Police Academy hosted two specialized training workshops for personnel from the Ministry of Interior, organized in coordination with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). The training program aimed to enhance legal awareness and professional capacity among police officers and security staff.

The curriculum focused on the fundamentals of International Humanitarian Law (IHL), detailing the legal rules that seek to limit the effects of armed conflict for humanitarian reasons. Participants reviewed international conventions, standard security procedures, and the protection of civilians and non-combatants during security operations.

Sessions also highlighted the specific mandate and operational activities of the ICRC in conflict zones globally. Instructors presented case studies detailing how international humanitarian bodies interact with national security forces to maintain legal compliance and facilitate neutral humanitarian assistance during crises.

This educational partnership forms part of broader efforts by security institutions to integrate international standards into routine training modules for ministry personnel, strengthening professional awareness of global legal frameworks.
