gestion des risques

This article has been inspired by an analysis conducted by MSF-Crash of humanitarian security management and why and in what ways it is evolving. We endeavour not only to describe humanitarian imagery, but to analyse its consequences - the risks it generates for aid workers operating in perilous situations. 

Entretien avec Pierre Mendiharat, directeur adjoint des opérations, MSF.

Fabrice Weissman, directeur d'études à MSF-Crash, présente le livre "Secourir sans périr. La sécurité humanitaire à l'ère de la gestion des risques", co-dirigé avec Michaël Neuman (CNRS, 2016).

Michael Neuman is interviewed by TRT World about Doctors Without Borders/MSF's decision to pull out of Yemen and humanitarian security, challenging the idea that humanitarian action has become a greater danger to aid workers.

Depuis quelques années, des rapports alarmistes, basés sur des données chiffrées, décrivent un monde de plus en plus dangereux pour les humanitaires. Le livre « Secourir sans périr » analyse ce constat, et le confronte à l'expérience de MSF dans des zones particulièrement dangereuses.

Fabrice Weissman, directeur d'études au Crash, co-auteur de "Secourir sans périr" (CNRS Editions, 2016), répond aux questions de l'Institut de Relations Internationales et Stratégiques (IRIS).

In "Saving Lives and Staying Alive: Humanitarian Security in the Age of Risk Management" Michaël Neuman and his colleague Fabrice Weissman analyze some of the drivers of professionalization in the context of humanitarian security and its subsequent impact on humanitarian practices through a collection of MSF case studies.

We welcome Abby Stoddard, Katherine Haver and Adele Harmer's response to our critical article on the production and the use of security data in the humanitarian sector and to our book in general. In a field that has been very much lacking debate, if not controversies, we're extremely glad to see a various range of readers engaging in the discussion. 

Michaël Neuman warns that misleading data are suggesting humanitarian aid work has become more dangerous, taking particular aim at the Aid Worker Security Database (AWSD) for helping perpetuate this myth. 

Michaël Neuman, co-editor of "Saving Lives and Staying Alive. Humanitarian Security in the Age of Risk Management" responds to Chris Lockyear and Andrew Cunningham's review of the book.

Andrew Cunningham, currently an independent humanitarian researcher and analyst and Chris Lockyear, the Director of Operations for ACF USA and a former Operations Manager for MSF Operational Center Amsterdam (MSF-OCA), have sent the following response to "Saving lives and Staying alive". Let the debate live!

Si des enquêtes quantitatives sont effectuées afin de rendre compte de la violence faite aux travailleurs humanitaires, elles restent trop souvent globales. Alors qu'une recontextualisation des incidents, à base de récits circonstanciés permettrait une approche singulière.
