Frontline Responders & Witnesses: Collateral Damage of Banned Access
Columbia Global Paris Center, in collaboration with the French Red Cross Foundation and Sciences Po, will host “Frontline Responders & Witnesses: Collateral Damage of Banned Access,” a public conference examining the challenges facing journalists, humanitarian workers and field researchers working in conflict zones.
The event will bring together humanitarian practitioners, journalists and scholars to discuss how restricted or denied access is affecting the production of knowledge, humanitarian response and international accountability. Conversations will draw on experiences from Gaza, Sudan, Syria and other conflict settings, including the growing role of local actors who are often among the only people able to respond, document events and bear witness.
Speakers will also examine the evolving relationship between international and local responders, as well as legal and ethical questions surrounding access to conflict zones.
