TITLE: Humanitarian Action: A Transatlantic Agenda for Operations
and Research (Occasional Paper 39)
|
|
|
ABSTRACT |
| A conference convened by the H&W Project in mid-1999 sought to bridge three schisms: between humanitarian and human rights organizations, between practitioners and researchers, and between North America and Europe. An introductory chapter recapping the conference discussion and sketching an agenda for the future is followed by four chapters comprised of the papers drafted for the conference and finalized to reflect the discussion. | |
|
The papers on operations were written by two aid and human rights officials: Kenneth Hackett of Catholic Relief Services and Michael McClintock of Human Rights Watch. The papers on research were contributed by researchers from assistance and human rights perspectives: Joanna Macrae of the Overseas Development Institute and Karen Kenny of the International Human Rights Trust. The conference itself was hosted by the Gilman Foundation. The volume is dedicated to the memory of François Jean.
