Die Schutzfunktion humanitärer Hilfe

Abstract

Die Opfer von Konflikten sind in ihrem Überleben nicht nur durch den Mangel an materiellen Ressourcen bedroht, sondern auch durch die Konfliktparteien selbst, für die sie direktes Ziel sind. Deshalb bedürfen sie des Schutzes. Diese Art von Konflikten, sogenannte complex emergencies, hat dazu geführt, daß sich die humanitäre Hilfe neben der Versorgung der Opfer auch um deren Schutz kümmern muß. Nachfolgend werden zunächst die Folgerichtigkeit der Einbeziehung der Schutzfunktion als integralen Bestandteil humanitärer Hilfe und die Möglichkeiten der Ausübung dieser Funktion evaluiert. Dazu werden vergleichend die policies von drei Organisationen, dem Internationalen Komitee des Roten Kreuzes, Ärzte ohne Grenzen und dem European Community Humanitarian Office (ECHO), mit Fallbeispielen analysiert. Das Ergebnis zeigt, daß über advocacy die Schutzfunktion wahrgenommen werden kann. In der Praxis geschieht dies auf unterschiedliche Art und Weise (ohne möglichst gezielte Zusammenarbeit der humanitären Akteure untereinander oder mit externen Akteuren, wie z. B. Menschenrechtsorganisationen).
