Introduction

Should militaries be involved in providing humanitarian assistance in conflict zones? This was the question at the heart of a debate co-hosted by the ICRC and the Centre for Military and Security Law (CMSL) at the Australian National University in Canberra in November 2015. The debate was part of the ICRC’s research and debate cycle on Principles Guiding Humanitarian Action, a series of public events and experts’ meetings aimed at fostering a global discussion around neutral, impartial and independent humanitarian action.

A complete version of the debate is made available in video-format on the ICRC’s official website and is available at https://www.icrc.org/en/document/blurred-boundaries-militaries-humanitarian-action-and-neutrality Links to an external site..
