I took the Professional Certificate in International Humanitarian Law (Advanced) at Stanmore School of Business, and it was a great learning experience. The course covered a wide range of topics, from the Geneva Conventions to the role of international courts and tribunals. I found the course materials to be well-organized and easy to follow, and the instructors were responsive to our questions and concerns. One of the things that I found particularly useful was the focus on the practical applications of international humanitarian law, including how to conduct investigations and gather evidence. My only suggestion would be to include more examples from the Middle East and North Africa, as this would make the course more relevant to students from these regions. Overall, I would recommend this course to anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of international humanitarian law.
