This book constitutes the first comprehensive publication on the duty of care of international
organizations towards their civilian personnel sent on missions and assignments outside
of their normal place of activity. While the work of the civilian personnel of international
organizations often carries an inherent risk, the regulations, policies and practices of the
employer can help to address and mitigate that risk.
In this book, the specific content and scope of the duty of care under international law is clarified
by conducting an unprecedented investigation into relevant jurisprudence and legal sources.
Included is a critical assessment of the policies of selected international organizations while a
set of guiding principles on the duty of care of international organizations is also presented.
This publication fills a gap in the existing academic literature on the topic and is aimed
particularly at academics and practitioners interested in the legal implications of the deployment
of civilian personnel abroad by international organizations. This includes scholars
and university-level students specializing in international law, international human rights
law, the law of international organizations, labour law, EU law, international administrative
law and the UN system, and practitioners, such as lawyers and consultants, representing or
advising international organizations or their personnel on the legal aspects of deployment.
The book is also aimed at the senior management of international organizations and at their
officers in charge of recruitment, human resources, training and security, in that it clarifies
their legal obligations and provides concrete examples of the policies various international
organizations have in place for the protection of civilian personnel. Current and prospective
civilian personnel of international organizations should also find the book useful for
clarifying their rights and duties.
