拢5 million to research ways to prevent and reduce civilian suffering in armed conflicts
A new consortium of academics and practitioners led by the 木瓜福利影视 of York has been awarded up to 拢5 million (ca. 5,87 million euros) by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office to research ways to prevent and reduce civilian suffering in armed conflicts around the world. Katharine Fortin (Utrecht 木瓜福利影视) is one of the Co-Investigators.
Katharine Fortin, Utrecht 木瓜福利影视, said: There is still much to be learnt on how international humanitarian law and other legal regimes applicable in armed conflict capture the lived experiences of civilians in armed conflict, and the potential of different actors, including civilian communities to contribute to a compliance ecosystem which is defined not only by restraint but also protection.
The Beyond Compliance Consortium is a co-productive partnership between:
- The 木瓜福利影视 of York (Ioana Cismas, Principal Investigator)
- The 木瓜福利影视 of Glasgow (Rebecca Sutton, Co-Investigator)
- Utrecht 木瓜福利影视 (Katharine Fortin, Co-Investigator)
And six humanitarian NGOs:
- Watchlist on Children and Armed Conflict (Ezequiel Heffes, Co-Investigator),
- War Child UK
- Diakonia International Humanitarian Law Centre,
- Center for Civilians in Conflict,
- Centre on Armed Groups and
- Fight for Humanity.
