Disaster Law Programme

Legal frameworks for the Management of

International Disaster Operations

Isabelle Granger

Global Coordinator, Legislative Advocacy


Overview

1.Introduction to the DLP of the IFRC

2.Practical legal issues in international

disaster operations

3. Example of Indonesia


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


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


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


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


2. Practical legal issues in international disaster

operations


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

Legal preparedness at the domestic level: the IDRL

Guidelines

▪ Recommendations to governments on how to prepare their own domestic laws and procedures for international assistance

▪ Adopted by consensus by the state parties to the Geneva Conventions in 2007. “Urgency” recalled in 2011, Resolution in Dec. 2015 “measures to speed progress”.

▪ 20+ Res. UNGA and ECOSOC

▪ Other tools: Model Act, Model Decree,IDRL Guidelines


Personnel▪ Visas

▪ Work permits▪ Professional qualifications

Goods and equipment▪ Customs clearance and duties▪ Food, vehicles, telecoms, medicines

Transport

Domestic legal status▪ Power to open bank accounts, contract, etc.

Taxes

Security

Extended hours

Costs

The IDRL Guidelines’ proposed legal facilities


Landing rights and

customs arrangements

General:

▪ Special provisions for priority landing of airplanes carrying humanitarian assistance

supplies

▪ Simplified paperwork and requirements for emergencies

▪ Provisions for the elimination of customs duties, tariffs or fees (including stockroom

rates and pending review)

▪ Measures in place aimed at preventing delays

▪ Clarity in terms of types of documents required to be able to benefit from a special

and simplified procedure

Specialized goods and equipment (communication, food, medicine, vehicles):

▪ Speedy licensing or waiver of license requirements in disasters

▪ Exceptional provisions for rescue dogs

▪ Monitoring the import/expert of medication

▪ Registration of foreign vehicles


Aid providers always:

▪ Abide by domestic and international law

▪ Coordinate with domestic authorities

▪ Abide by humanitarian principles

To the greatest extent practicable, they:

▪ Meet int’l quality standards

▪ Coordinate with other actors

▪ Involve beneficiaries

▪ Use fully trained personnel

▪ Build on local capacities

Global progress

▪ 50+ projects supported by

RCRC National Societies

▪ 37 countries with new laws

or procedures

▪ +15 countries with bills

pending drawing on the

IDRL Guidelines


3. IDRL in action: Support to ASEAN

▪ 2005: ASEAN Agreement on Disaster

Management and Emergency Response

(AADMER) and the ASEAN Declaration on

‘One ASEAN One Response’.

▪ 2011: ASEAN Coordination Centre for

Humanitarian Assistance established. Tasked

with facilitating international disaster

management cooperation, supporting BNPB

and coordinating assessment and info mgt

(situated in Jakarta).

▪ 2017: Disaster Law regional conference

▪ 2017:AADMER disaster law mapping,

Disaster Law and Policy Platform; exchange of

best practices on DRM governance

▪ 2018: Peer-to-peer exchange PIF and ASEAN


IDRL in action: Support to the gov. of Indonesia

▪ 2004: December 26th, the Sumatra–Andaman earthquake

2005: PMI, IFRC, Gov of Indonesian publishes the case study

Laws, Policies, Planning and Practices on International

Disaster Response. The study was undertaken in the ‘pre-

tsunami’ context.

▪ 2006: The IDRL case study, specifically looking at the Legal

Issues from the International Response to the Tsunami in

Indonesia is published.

▪ 2007: Disaster Management Act, Law No. 24 of 2007 is

adopted, which establishes the the National Disaster

Management Authority (BNPB) and addresses the mandate of

various stakeholders in emergency operations.

▪ 2008: With advice and support from PMI and IFRC,

Regulation No. 23 on the Participation of International

Organisations and Foreign Non-Governmental Institutions in

Disaster Management is adopted. The Head of BNPB is

authorised to determine the role of IO and INGOs in DM.


Indonesia (continues …2)

▪ 2010: Extensive consultations among BNPB, PMI, IFRC

and UN OCHA results in the Guideline No. 22 on The

Role of the International Organisations and Foreign

Nongovernment Organisations during Emergency

Response.

▪ 2012: PMI and IFRC commence the IDRL Impact Study,

of Law No. 24 of 2007 and its related regulations and

guidelines.

▪ 2013: A consultation workshop on the initial findings

from the IDRL research.

▪ 2014: The final IDRL report, An Analysis of the Impact

and Implementation of Indonesia’s Legal Framework

for International Disaster Assistance, is published.


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.


Lombok and Sulawesi in Practice:


Government to Government


International aid through local channels


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!
