Complete Report

In March 2005, the Regional Responses to Internal War program completed the most extensive research conducted globally on the use of force in humanitarian interventions and the emerging norm of the responsibility to protect civilians. The Fund for Peace collected its data through hundreds of interviews in the field and six civil society workshops. The workshops were held in Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Chile, the Philippines and Hungary.

This report provides a critical examination of the role of civil society in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas in preventing and responding to humanitarian crises.

The Mission of The Fund for Peace is to prevent war
& alleviate the conditions that cause war.
