Disaster Law Programme
Legal frameworks for the Management of
International Disaster Operations

Global Coordinator, Legislative Advocacy
Disaster Law Programme
Overview
1.Introduction to the DLP of the IFRC
2.Practical legal issues in international
disaster operations
3. Example of Indonesia
Disaster Law Programme
1. IFRC Disaster Law Programme
• What is disaster law?
The laws and regulations which:
✓address the roles and
responsibilities
to manage and respond to disasters
✓minimise impact of disasters
✓reduce disaster risks
Disaster Law Programme
Why the Disaster Law Programme?
Influential: IDRL and DRR Checklists are soft international law (i.e.
non-binding but influential)
• Soft law can develop into hard law (i.e. custom or binding
treaties/conventions)
• DLP contributing to emerging hard law:
• Draft Articles on the Protection of Persons in the Event of
Disasters
• Potential for Draft Articles to form basis of flagship treaty
Practical
• Strong practical component to our work in the form of technical
assistance to governments
• Rare to have this dual role spanning:
• international and domestic spheres
• standard setting and implementation
Unique
• DLP mandate: to promote the role of law and policy in reducing
human vulnerability to disasters
• No one else does what we do
Disaster Law Programme
a. International disaster response laws, rules and principles (IDRL)• The IDRL Guidelines; Model Act; Model Decree; IDRL
Checklist, Technical tools (Projects Methodology, etc).
b. Law for disaster risk reduction (and soon CCA!)• Checklist on law and disaster risk reduction; Tools:
Technical assessment form, Handbook on law and DRR.
c. Law for domestic preparedness and response• New Checklist in development E.g. Institutional
frameworks, protection issues such as for IDP; SGBV; HLP, legal facilities for FbF and CASH programming, alternatives to using schools as shelters.
d. National Societies’ role in disaster law• Aux. role, RCRC laws, DRM laws and policies, Health
laws, sectoral laws eg. Climate Change
DLP: ThematicAreas
Disaster Law Programme
The role of Red Cross National Societies: from advocacy
to implementation and dissemination
Bottom up: influencing high level national law and policy making processes in the interest of at risk / disaster affected communities
Top down: local and community level, disseminating and implementing national law and policy
Disaster Law Programme
2. Practical legal issues in international disaster
operations
Disaster Law Programme
Common legal barriers to int’l response op.
▪ Barriers
▪ Initiation, visas, customs, radio use, taxes, professional qualifications, registration, transport, liability
▪ Oversight gaps
▪ Inappropriate items, ignoring standards, poorcoordination, corruption
▪ Bottom line
▪ Aid is slower, more expensive, less effective,sometimes counter-productive

Disaster Law Programme

Disaster Law Programme
Indonesia (continues…3)
▪ 2017: PMI and the Community Alliance for Strengthening Law on
Disaster Management hold a Reflection on disaster management
in Indonesia. PMI advocates on how the DM Act could be
strengthened, including issues around definitions, status and level of
disaster, budget, community participation, and the shifting paradigm
from response to DRR. The 2007 DM Act is subsequently entered
into the national legislation program (prolegnas) for 2015-2019 as
one of the main acts to be amended
▪ 2017 (January – September): PMI and IFRC actively engage and
contribute to the consultations on the National Disaster
Response Framework (NDRF).
▪ 2017 Red Cross Law: PMI is auxiliary to the public authorities in
the humanitarian action.
▪ 2018 National Disaster Response Framework (NDRF) is passed.
The NDRF is the guiding framework for disaster preparedness and
response and formalises institutional roles and responsibilities for
national and international disaster response mechanisms in
Indonesia.

Disaster Law Programme
Take away message: Need to put a comprehensive
system in place
▪ It is important to have legal facilities
in place to facilitate the entry of
international disaster assistance.
▪ It is equally important to define the
roles and responsibilities of national
actors active in the management of
international disaster assistance (eg.
request for assistance, coordination
mechanisms).
▪ Quality standards important!
▪ Control mechanisms should be put
inplace: Not all aid is good!
