![]() ![]() Deconfliction processes help ensure that engagement decisions are informed by knowledge regarding humanitarian and civilian entities in targeted areas. ![]() ![]() Military deconfliction is intended to leverage communication with and information regarding humanitarian organizations in order to avoid tragic attacks. This system can also be used to strengthen CIV- MIL coordination more broadly. ![]() We discuss the use of a prototype humanitarian notification system (HNS) and how such a system can improve the overall quality and consistency of information over current ad hoc processes, simplifying the work of militaries to integrate it into military systems and processes and creating a stronger foundation for effective deconfliction. In particular, two types of communication can collectively strengthen the practical protection of humanitarian organizations in armed conflict: humanitarian notification and civil-military (CIV-MIL) coordination. In this report, we discuss steps militaries can take to help reduce these tragic incidents and improve protection of humanitarian organizations- and of civilians overall.Ĭommunication is vital to the act of protection. One particular tragedy is that humanitarian organizations continue to be the subject of tragic attacks, and too many times they are obstructed or harassed by security forces, causing them harm and limiting vital services from aiding the civilian population. Despite one hundred and fifty years of international law seeking to promote humanity and reduce suffering in armed conflict, civilians continue to suffer in war. ![]()
