Dialogue with weapon bearers
Those who actually carry the weapons, whether they are members of government armed forces or opposition groups, are in a position to wound or kill people or to themselves be wounded or killed. They are also in a position to either facilitate humanitarian action or hinder it. This is why the ICRC is so concerned to maintain and strengthen a dialogue that it considers a key part of its mandate to protect and assist people affected by war and other situations of violence.
