Admission requirements This single week Course is aimed at experienced, senior military and civilian legal advisers and military officers and government officials with a need for an in-depth knowledge of LOAC. Academics with an interest in developing a deeper understanding of the practical application of LOAC are also welcome to attend.

Given that this course is at an Advanced level and will be run as on an Intensive timetable, it is assumed that participants will already have a very sound knowledge of basic LOAC principles and rules and be able to apply these in a practical context.
