The state of pervasive violence in Central America & Mexico: practical and legal challenges for offering humanitarian protection
Webstream (without interpretation)
Humanitarian Talks
Information
The event aims to bring visibility to the humanitarian consequences of the pervasive state of violence in Central America and Mexico that are similar in scale & nature to those in armed conflicts around the world. However, these are still below IHL application thresholds. Speakers will offer an understanding of how legal frameworks can support the humanitarian space on the ground and respond better to the protection needs in this.
