Teaching International Humanitarian Law at 2 Levels; Intermediate - Advanced

With over one year experience in teaching and a decade long experience with adolescents and young adults, I, herein, present my course in "International Humanitarian Law".

In today's globalized world where the effects and repercussions of a conflict are not confined within a single state, it becomes crucial to know what rules are in place that regulate conflict and provide protection to those who are vulnerable. Aiming to mitigate and prevent human suffering in an armed conflict, International Humanitarian Law gives us answers to questions, such as: who can and cannot be targeted and under which conditions; at what times does a protected person lose protection; who is a combatant; what distinguishes a combatant from a civilian; and, what protections are available to those who do not take part in an armed conflict.

Amidst the many interstate conflicts, such as, Ukraine-Russia, Iran-Israel and Palestine-Israel conflicts, as well as the intrastate ones, such as in Sudan, having a working knowledge of International Humanitarian Law becomes even more vital as it re-establishes one's trust in law and humanity at such uncertain times as these ones.

About Me

I am an Afghan who has been brought up in Pakistan. The decades of conflict in my country compelled my parents to leave their hometown and seek refuge in Pakistan. Owing to that, I have done my schooling from Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. I attained an "A" in the Board Exams of Pakistan, which is a national level examination held all over Pakistan. Subsequently, I obtained my A-Levels in Economics, Law and Sociology from a college in Islamabad. Upon my return to Afghanistan, I pursued my bachelors program in Political Science and Public Administration with a minor in Law at the American University of Afghanistan (AUAF). During my BA, I did not only adhere to academic endeavors but also engaged in certain research projects, extra-curricular and voluntary activities. One of my most essential research projects was drafting the very first "Anti-discrimination Bill" for Afghanistan. I worked in a team of five very talented, determined and dedicated individuals who envisioned getting the bill passed into a law. With the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan in August, 2021, all our dreams were dismantled with no scope of continuing the project. Nevertheless, working on the bill gave me a life-time experience of research, writing, editing, reading, and communication.

With the world grappling with COVID-19, online education became a norm and there were so many opportunities through which one could pursue one's education. Having said that, I, under the Taliban rule, started my micro-masters program and successfully obtained a degree in International Law. The program consisted of five subjects, namely, International Law, International Humanitarian Law, International Human Rights Law, Asylum and Refugee Law, and International Investment Law. All these subjects further enhanced my critical thinking and research skills.

Right after completing my micro-masters, I was offered the position of Teaching Assistant at AUAF, wherein, I was part of the Transition to Success (TTS) program that helped Afghan female students obtain online education - owing to the Taliban ban on female education in Afghanistan - and be able to apply for scholarships abroad. It was an aspiring job that motivated me to broaden my horizons and reach out to as many students as possible.

This was pretty much me:)

English is one of the most widely used languages in today's world; over 67 countries recognize English as one of their official languages. Be it in a school, office or a travel destination, one needs to know English in order to communicate and excel in one's endeavors. However, many non-native speakers find it difficult to speak English, comprehend an English speaker's conversation or converse with an English speaker. Underlying this difficulty is the problem of being unable to direct one's energy and time in the right direction in terms of learning English. As difficult as it might seem and sound, English is a very easy language which can be learnt by anyone provided that s/he is given the right starting point. In this English course, my aim is to make English language learning a memorable and fun experience. Through cardboards, pictures, and visual presentation, I aim to teach English in a way that resonates with every individual's daily activities as it is through these small but significant steps that one can fully establish a good base in English learning and succeed in mastering English. The class will mainly focus on vocabulary building, sentence structure , punctuation, and grammar. Most learning will be done through games and cardboards so as to make English language learning a fun yet fruitful experience.

Political Science, History and International Studies Classes
History and Political Science are intertwined subjects with multidisciplinary approaches. To study one of these, one must understand the other. I offer classes that teach either of the two subjects, as well as both (if required) with aspect to the other. How often have we wondered about historical events with respect to Politics? Do we know that the Romanovs were related to the British Royal Family and how their brutal killings was shaped by geopolitics of the era, or how Hitler's death was a highly controversial political debate? You see how history and politics cannot be separated. It is also undeniable that having knowledge of the two subjects can help you achieve higher marks and credits, as well as a deeper understanding and passion for the subjects.

Christian
Planning on studying law? Want to know more about how the law works? Want to know how to write like a lawyer? Then this class is for you!
Hello! My name is Christian and I am a qualified solicitor back in my home country of New Zealand.I've recently moved to London and before I embark on my next professional adventure, I thought it might be a nice time to give back some of the knowledge I've collected over my studies and professional experience. I took great satisfaction when I helped my younger brother during his legal studies (and even more so when I admitted him to become a lawyer). I spent many years trying to grasp what the law is, how to write a 'legal opinion', how to write 'like a lawyer' - even how to 'think like a lawyer'. Surprisingly, all thise things are actually quite helpful even if you don't want to become a lawyer. Understanding the law can help you know your rights better, it can help you solve problems more logically, it can help you write more concisely and more persuasively. Anywhere you go or whatever you want to do, somewhere along the line the law will be involved - if ever so slightly. And the best part is, there is always more to learn! Even the finest judges, or the most distinguished King's Counsel don't know everything about the law (although they;d be pretty bloody close). So let me know whether you're studying law and want some help with your studies, whether you want to improve your writing or negotiating skills, whether you want to learn abit more about the law that affects you, or whether you want to know what its' like working as a lawyer. There are no silly questions in my class! (Please note that this class is not and cannot be constituted as 'legal advice', it is for educational purposes only!) Look forward to meeting you all, Christian Oh and if I haven't selected available times that would suit you better, please drop me a line and I'll see what can be arranged.
