International Humanitarian Law Advisory

Operating in Syria, NGOs must navigate the complexities of international humanitarian law (IHL), particularly when engaging in relief work in conflict-affected areas. AlHawasli & Partners offers specialized legal counsel to ensure NGOs comply with IHL principles, including neutrality, impartiality, and the protection of civilians. We guide organizations on best practices in aid distribution, ensuring that their operations align with both local laws and international humanitarian frameworks.

In addition, we assist NGOs in addressing challenges related to access restrictions, government regulations, and the legal aspects of cross-border humanitarian aid. Our legal team advises on securing the necessary permits, engaging with authorities, and protecting staff and beneficiaries from potential legal liabilities. With our expertise, NGOs can operate with confidence, knowing they are in full compliance with legal obligations while effectively delivering humanitarian assistance.
