Are cooperation and solidarity binding obligations under international disaster law? – Case study on the response to the earthquake of February 2023 in Syria
Style: (titles, quotations, footnotes, references, etc.)
Critically analyze from the perspective of international law the response by Syria to the recent earthquake.
First, summarize the relevant facts as they have been mediatized over the last couple of weeks.
Second, outline the legal obligations binding Syria and, as the case may be, international organizations, other States and non-State actors under
(a) art. 2(1) ICESCR (both under the “Minimum Core” approach and under the Tripartite Classification of State Obligations),
(b) under the Convention on the Rights of the Child,
(c) under the Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Rights and Dignity of Persons with Disabilities.
d) Elaborate also on the differences between humanitarian assistance and development cooperation
Third, in light of the facts you have summarized under the first section of the paper, very critically analyze whether Syria and, as the case may be, international organization, other States and/or non-State actors have met their respective legal obligations under the treaties that you have described under section 2.
Fourth, issue recommendations on the way non-compliance with treaty obligations should be addressed from the legal perspective, and on the way gaps in the legal framework require further development of international law on assistance, cooperation and solidarity.
For creative thinkers: suggest ways to address situations of complex disasters (disaster in armed conflict zones) under control of authoritarian states.
