International Humanitarian Law and a Realistic Approach to Understanding the Rights and Privileges of Volunteers under the Technical Aid Corps in Nigeria

Abstract

Despite working in challenging conditions, Nigerian Technical Aid Corps (TAC) volunteers do not have a firm awareness of their rights and privileges. The humanitarian group has provided aid to victims of armed conflicts, including refugees, internally displaced people, prisoners of war, and victims of other violent incidents such as natural disasters, flooding, earthquakes, typhoons, hurricanes, and fire outbreaks, to mention but a few. Humanitarian organisations play unmatched roles in providing aid to those in need during armed crises. In light of the aforementioned, this article offers insight into the distinctive function played by TAC, especially in light of the increase in violent incidents and internal crises as well as the escalating complexity of the requirements of the impacted communities.
