From Words to Deeds: Providing Tools for an Effective Engagement of Armed Non-State Actors to Improve Humanitarian Protection

该项目将审查非国家武装行为者在武装冲突法和国际人权法方面的做法和解释。通过对选定规范进行比较分析，本报告旨在更好地了解这些规范的观点，为人道主义保护战略提供信息，并为人道主义行为体提供实用工具，以加强与非国家武装行为体的接触。虽然将在九个具体情况下（阿富汗、刚果民主共和国、黎巴嫩、马里、缅甸、巴勒斯坦被占领土、菲律宾、叙利亚和也门）进行实地研究，但该项目的研究结果将具有更广泛的意义，因为世界上许多冲突都涉及非国家武装行为者。除了全面的专题比较分析外，还将出版一些案例研究以及武装非国家行为者人道主义参与的实用准则。这些产出将特别与以下方面相关：㈠人道主义保护行为者，包括伙伴和支助组织（日内瓦呼吁、挪威难民理事会和Diakonia）; ㈡在冲突环境中运作的其他行为者，如援助机构; ㈢以及学术界、决策者和捐助者。

The project will examine the practice and interpretations of armed non-State actors with respect to the law of armed conflict and international human rights law. Through a comparative analysis of selected norms, it aims at generating a better understanding of their perspectives, inform humanitarian protection strategies and provide practical tools for humanitarian actors to enhance their engagement with armed non-State actors. While field research will be conducted in nine specific contexts (Afghanistan, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lebanon, Mali, Myanmar, Occupied Palestinian Territories, the Philippines, Syria and Yemen), the findings of the project will have broader significance since many conflicts in the world involve armed non-State actors. In addition to a comprehensive comparative thematic analysis, a number of case studies, as well as practical guidelines for the humanitarian engagement of armed non-State actors will be published. These outputs will be distinctively relevant for: (i) humanitarian protection actors, including the partnering and supporting organisations (Geneva Call, the Norwegian Refugee Council and Diakonia); (ii) other actors that operate in conflict settings such as aid agencies; (iii) as well as academics, policy-makers and donors.
