The ICRC Advisory Service on international humanitarian law
As a specialized unit of the ICRC, the Advisory Service assists states in implementing IHL at the national level. With a global network of legal advisers, the Service provides guidance to national authorities on specific domestic implementation measures needed to meet their IHL obligations and supports the work of national IHL bodies established to facilitate IHL implementation domestically. Moreover, it supports the exchange of information on national implementation measures. Besides providing legal advice and technical support, it helps with capacity building at the specific request of national authorities and other actors.
