1. How would you classify the situation in Libya in 2016? What additional information would you need to make such a determination? (GC I-IV, Art. 3 [3]; P II, Art. 1 [4])
3. Do the parties to the conflict have an obligation to provide humanitarian assistance to the civilian population in times of armed conflict? If yes, does this obligation change depending on the classification of the conflict? Are the parties to the conflict obliged under IHL to allow assistance from organisations like the Community of Sant’Egidio, in providing civilians access to humanitarian aid? Is the consent of the State always necessary for such actors to provide assistance? Do civilian populations have a right to humanitarian assistance? (GC I-IV, Art. 3 [5]; GC IV, Art. 23 [6]; P I, Art. 70 [7]; P II, Art. 18 [8]; CIHL, Rule 55 [9])
4. Which types of activities fall within the notion of humanitarian assistance, and which items can be provided to the population in need? (GC I-IV, Art. 3 [5]; GC IV, Art. 23 [6]; P I, Art. 70 [7]; P II, Art. 18 [8]; CIHL, Rule 55 [9])
5. What is the role of impartial humanitarian organizations under IHL? What activities can they perform during an armed conflict? Does access to humanitarian assistance also include freedom of movement of humanitarian relief personnel within concerned territories? Should the answer be in the affirmative, can this freedom be restricted? Under which conditions? (GC IV, Art. 10 [10]; CIHL, Rule 56 [11])
