项目摘要

Contemporary armed conflicts have become protracted, complex and urbanised with far-reaching socio-economic consequences, such as severe damage to infrastructure, disruption of services, and protracted displacement. The dire socio-economic dimensions of protracted conflicts, as well as the link between poverty and fragility, render the traditional divide between humanitarian and development assistance unfeasible to address the short- and long-term needs of affected communities. The proposed project will provide a comprehensive analysis of the institutional and substantive legal frameworks within which humanitarian and development assistance are delivered. Its aim is to investigate the extent to which international law enables integrated, sustainable and accountable humanitarian and development assistance in contexts of protracted conflicts. The project will deliver on its aim through three closely connected work packages (WP) that focus on institutions, legal regimes and accountability, respectively. WP 1 charts the multitude of humanitarian and development actors operating in contexts of protracted conflicts and examines whether their mandates, principles, legal relations, and institutional structures are amenable to the creation of a humanitarian-development nexus. WP 2 focuses on the interactions between legal regimes applicable to protracted conflicts, with a view to evaluating whether international law contributes to the creation of the divide between the two sectors or can in fact provide legal common grounds to overcome the divide between them. Lastly, WP 3 assesses the need for new standards and mechanisms to ensure the inclusion of and accountability to affected communities in light of the expanding and interconnected nature of humanitarian and development responses. The project will be the first to approach the divide between humanitarian and development assistance comprehensively from an international law perspective. Moreover, it will clarify the laws that pertain to the underexplored, socio-economic dimensions of protracted conflicts. Therefore, the project will make fundamental advances in the field of international law, as well as the multidisciplinary fields of humanitarianism, development, transitional justice, and peacebuilding. More broadly, the research findings of the project will contribute to some of the fundamental debates in international law, for example, on the evolution of international (humanitarian) law in face of the changing characteristics of armed conflicts, regime interactions and fragmentation of international law, and the expanding role and authority of non-state actors, particularly international organisations, in global governance. Beyond its contributions to scholarship, the project will develop legal and policy recommendations for the interpretation and design of international law and thus engage in knowledge transfer for international cooperation towards the operationalisation of the humanitarian-development nexus.

当代武装冲突已变得旷日持久、复杂化和城市化，造成了深远的社会经济后果，如基础设施遭到严重破坏、服务中断和长期流离失所。旷日持久的冲突所造成的严重社会经济问题，以及贫穷与脆弱性之间的联系，使人道主义援助与发展援助之间的传统鸿沟无法满足受影响社区的短期和长期需求。拟议项目将全面分析提供人道主义和发展援助的体制和实质性法律的框架。其目的是调查国际法在何种程度上能够在旷日持久的冲突中提供综合、可持续和负责任的人道主义和发展援助。该项目将通过三个密切相关的工作包实现其目标，这三个工作包分别侧重于机构、法律的制度和问责制。工作方案1列出了在旷日持久的冲突中开展活动的众多人道主义和发展行为体，并审查了它们的任务、原则、法律的关系和体制结构是否适合于建立人道主义与发展的关系。WP 2侧重于适用于长期冲突的法律的制度之间的相互作用，以评估国际法是否有助于在这两个部门之间造成分歧，或者实际上是否能够为克服这两个部门之间的分歧提供法律的共同基础。最后，工作方案3评估了是否有必要制定新的标准和机制，以确保考虑到人道主义和发展应对措施的不断扩大和相互关联的性质，纳入受影响社区并对其负责。该项目将是第一个从国际法角度全面处理人道主义援助与发展援助之间的区别的项目。此外，它还将澄清与长期冲突的社会经济方面未得到充分探讨的问题有关的法律。因此，该项目将在国际法领域以及人道主义、发展、过渡时期司法和建设和平等多学科领域取得根本性进展。更广泛地说，该项目的研究成果将有助于国际法的一些基本辩论，例如，在面对武装冲突，政权互动和国际法的分裂，以及非国家行为者，特别是国际组织，在全球治理中的作用和权威不断变化的特点，国际（人道主义）法的演变。除了对奖学金的贡献外，该项目还将为国际法的解释和设计制定法律的和政策建议，从而参与国际合作的知识转让，以实现人道主义与发展关系的运作。
