Putting the idea into Practice

Volker Hüls, Editor

I have created lawanddevelopment.org to contribute to the global thinking on law and development. The academic content was created by a group of likeminded individuals, most of them graduates of the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) who share a strong interest in the concept. As a professional in aid management with 14 years experience in developing countries I understand the limitations of international and national organisations in implementing the idea of law and development. In my work I have focussed on specific issues where legal rules influence development, but also on how international organisations can get better at implementing their programmes in countries most affected by poverty, conflict, or natural disasters. Having substantial experience in remote management and monitoring of humanitarian operations I have a particular interest in how this modality can deliver results for people.

I have specific expertise in the following:

General: Aid Management and Relief Operations; Topics: M&E, Remote Management and Monitoring, Disaster Preparedness and Civil Protection, International Law, Organisational Processes, Information and Knowledge Management, Public-Private Partnerships, Water and Sanitation

I am also the author of these articles on lawanddevelopment.org:

» Remote Management of Humanitarian Assistance
» Soft Law, Hard Compliance
» State Responsibility under International Law
» Sanitation Policy for Somaliland
» Children and the Right to Water
» Making Economic Growth work for the Poor
