Preferred term

protection of civilians in conflict zones  

Definition

  • Protecting innocent civilians who are caught in a conflict zone is one of the most important tasks of the international relief community. In addition to daily exposure to violence, armed conflict brings about displacement of entire communities, which may lead to issues of access to relief assistance.
