Gambia News : Gambian soldiers to be trained on human rights law
The Gambian Armed Forces and the International Committee of the Red
Cross (ICRC) have signed an agreement to make the study of
international human law part of the West African country's military
training programme, official sources told PANA here Wednesday.

Chief of Staff of the Gambian Armed Forces, General Lang Tombong Tamba,
and Gianni Volpin, the deputy head of the ICRC regional delegation, who

armed conflicts by protecting those not taking part in hostilities as
well as restricting the choice of methods or means of warfare.
The Gambia is a signatory to the Geneva Conventions of 1949' under which international human rights must be protected.
