Model act for the facilitation and regulation of international disaster relief and initial recovery assistance

The “Model Act for the Facilitation and Regulation of International Disaster Relief and Initial Recovery Assistance” is intended to assist states to strengthen their legal preparedness for international disaster cooperation. It is built upon, and is intended as a supplement to, the Guidelines for the domestic facilitation and regulation of international disaster relief and initial recovery assistance (IDRL Guidelines), which were adopted by the state parties to the Geneva Conventions in 2007.
