Negotiating with local authorities and armed actors in insecure environments is a critical skill that allows humanitarian organizations to help and protect those most in need. Whether it is to obtain humanitarian access or to engage armed actors on a better respect for civilian populations' rights, negotiators are always under a high pressure.
At the Geneva Peace Week 2019, Fight for Humanty in partnership with the Center of Competence on Humanitarian Negotiations, the ICRC and the UNCHR offer a behind the scenes look at how to negotiate in areas affected by armed violence and the people who conduct them, using a storytelling approach.
The event will also demonstrate how frontline negotiations and humanitarian issues more broadly are intertwined with building peace through dialogue, negotiation, advocacy and public communication.
