ANNEX 4<br />
ABOUT THE HUMANITARIANISM AND WAR PROJECT<br />
<strong>The</strong> Humanitarianism and War Project is a policy research<br />
initiative undertaken by the Thomas J. <strong>Watson</strong> Jr. <strong>Institute</strong> <strong>for</strong><br />
<strong>International</strong> Studies of Brown University and the Refugee<br />
Policy Group of Washington, D.C. Based on analysis of recent<br />
international experience in providing protection and assistance<br />
to civilians in situations of armed conflict, the project<br />
seeks to contribute to the evolution of a more effective international<br />
humanitarian regime <strong>for</strong> the post-Cold War era.<br />
<strong>The</strong> initiative builds on the methodology of a 1990 case<br />
study of Operation Lifeline Sudan that resulted in a book and<br />
a set of recommendations <strong>for</strong> aid practitioners. At the same<br />
time, it encompasses a wider range of regional and country<br />
experience. Since its inception in 1991, the project has conducted<br />
field research in five regions: the Gulf (Iraq and neighboring<br />
countries); the Horn of Africa (Ethi<strong>op</strong>ia/Eritrea, the<br />
Sudan and Somalia); Southeast Asia (Cambodia); Central<br />
America (Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Guatemala); and the<br />
Balkans. Conflicts in other areas are also being monitored.<br />
In addition to the present report, other publications in the<br />
Occasional Paper series address the issues of the project (No.<br />
8), the Gulf crisis (No. 13), and Central America (No. 14). Two<br />
project books are available commercially: Humanitarian Action<br />
in Times of War: A Handbook <strong>for</strong> Practitioners (Boulder: Lynne<br />
Rienner, 1993, $8.95)—also available in Spanish and French<br />
from UNICEF in New York—and Humanitarianism Across<br />
Borders: Sustaining Civilians in Times of War (Boulder: Lynne<br />
Rienner, 1993, $35.00). A third volume, Qualities of Mercy: War<br />
and the Global Humanitarian Community, is scheduled <strong>for</strong> publication<br />
in 1994. A bibliography of publications to date is<br />
available from the <strong>Watson</strong> <strong>Institute</strong>, from which other Occasional<br />
Papers may also be ordered. Additional c<strong>op</strong>ies of this<br />
report are available at $8.95 each from the Refugee Policy<br />
Group, 1424 16th Street, NW, Suite 401, Washington, DC<br />
20036. Single c<strong>op</strong>ies mailed to locations inside the U.S. (including<br />
shipping and handling) cost $11.35, and to international<br />
addresses (by air parcel post), $16.55.<br />
