From Principle to Practice: Protecting civilians in violent contexts
Lead Author/s
Dr Charles Hunt
Following on from the ACMC Australian Guidelines for the Protection of Civilians (2015) this handbook aims to provide the ‘what’, the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ of protecting civilians in violent contexts and is intended for people working at the operational level including government, NGOs, UN and other organisations.

CMP Protection of Civilians Workshop
The CMPW-POC is a two-day workshop that will focus on the Protection of Civilians during international and domestic crises. With the changes in nature of conflict, the increasing severity and frequency of sudden-onset disasters, more attention needs to be paid to understanding how government, humanitarian actors and civil society can best protect civilians. The workshop features a series of lectures, panel discussions and activities.
