“There are not a lot of academic centers focused on humanitarian crises, and particularly on conflict areas."
Read about SLS’s Humanitarian Program headed by SLS's @AllenSWeiner and @b_ulbricht tackling life-and-death policy issues in conflict zones. https://t.co/9E6X4rrvyR
Of course, it won’t necessarily solve intentional targeting of humanitarians. In that case, much more work needs to be done to deter bad actors and protect location data of humanitarians in real time, and promote accountability after the fact.
Protection for/mitigating harms against humanitarian workers in conflict needs to be a priority for states and for international organizations. Here in the US, we can start by prioritizing hum. protection through DoD’s #CHMRAP policy launched this fall
We are shocked and saddened by the loss of a @RedCrossUkraine volunteer due to the recent shelling in the Kherson region.
Our thoughts are with their staff, volunteers and family at this devastating time.
🔴Humanitarian aid workers and volunteers are #NotATarget. EVER.
One place to start is to focus on improving humanitarian notification, a system that facilitates info-sharing from humanitarians to warring parties to a conflict. Ideally, it can help prevent accidental strikes against humanitarians

Humanitarian assistance saves lives. This resolution ensures that it will always be facilitated.
Super excited to announce a new program I helped launch at #Stanford Law w/ @AllenSWeiner called the Stanford Humanitarian Program. You can read more about us here: https://t.co/ANaJ3HCpQ4. Reach out to us if you have ideas or want to collaborate!
Our work is rooted in legal scholarship but is ultimately interdisciplinary, and we work directly with people out in the field to ensure our work has a direct impact. Right now, we’re focused on ways #technology can help or harm communities experiencing a humanitarian crisis.

I’ve never seen anything like this in the Islamic Republic of Iran… schoolgirls without mandatory hejab,chanting "We don't want the Islamic Republic" & "Khamenei is a murderer, his reign is nullified.” And it’s happening in several places. #IranProtests#iran#MahsaAmini
We just did a DNA test. Turns out: It's 100% that [crystal] flute @lizzo played at her D.C. stop on the #SpecialTour tonight. It's safe & sound back at the Library now. Thank you @CapitolPolice for escorting it. Watch this space for more from Lizzo's Library visit. #LizzoAtLOC
Lizzo, a Black female superstar, collaborating with Carla Hayden, the first African American and first woman Librarian of Congress, to use a flute from James Madison, the Founding Father who originated the 3/5 Compromise and also the Library of Congress itself? The symbolism!!!
You didn't think @lizzo played that antique flute on stage without practicing first, did you? She visited the Library Monday & played several of the flutes in our collection, which is the largest in the world. #LizzoAtLOC
See & hear more from her visit: https://t.co/eZiAVrAGWZ
