There are two distinct contemporary challenges to the relief of
war-induced human suffering--one within the institutions that make
up the international humanitarian system, the other on the ground
in war zones. Varied interests, resources, and organizational
structures within institutions hamper the effectiveness of efforts
on behalf of war victims. And at the same time, on the ground,
there are ethical, legal, and operational challenges and dilemmas
that require actors continually to choose a course of action with
associated necessary evils.Humanitarian challenges and intervention
concerns within the international humanitarian system--combined
with the domestic context of armed conflicts--often yield policies
that do not serve the immediate requirements of victims for relief,
protection of rights, stabilization, and reconstruction. Based on
compelling, up-to-date case studies of the post-Cold War experience
in Central America, northern Iraq, Somalia, the former Yugoslavia,
and the African Great Lakes, the authors Thomas G. Weiss and Cindy
Collins make recommendations for a more effective international
humanitarian system.
