Previous Edition

Anxious always to be in a position to assume and carry out effectively the humanitarian tasks incumbent on it as a neutral intermediary in time of war and internal disorder, the International Committee of the Red Cross decided to train staff and future delegates. We must not forget that circumstances sometimes arise when the ICRC is suddenly confronted with a considerably increased task which necessitates its supplementing its permanent personnel, sometimes from one day to the next. For this reason it organized at its Geneva headquarters a fortnight's course, the start of which on March 22 last was mentioned in a previous edition of the International Review.

AbstractDigitalization and new technologies have an increasingly important role in today's humanitarian activities. As humanitarian organizations become more active in and reliant on new and digital technologies, they evolve from being simple bystanders to being fully fledged stakeholders in cyberspace, vulnerable to adverse cyber operations that could impact on their capacity to protect and assist people affected by armed conflict or other situations of violence.This shift makes it essential for humanitarian organizations to understand and properly map their resulting cyber perimeter. Humanitarian organizations can protect themselves and their activities by devising appropriate cyber strategies for the digital environment. Clearly defining the digital boundaries within which they carry out operations lays the groundwork for humanitarian organizations to develop a strategy to support and protect humanitarian action in the digital environment, channel available resources to where they are most needed, and understand the areas in which their operational dialogue and working modalities need to be adapted for cyberspace.The purpose of this article is to identify the unique problems facing international humanitarian organizations operating in cyberspace and to suggest ways to address them. More specifically, the article identifies the key elements that an international humanitarian organization should consider in developing a cyber security strategy. Throughout, the International Committee of the Red Cross and its specificities are used as an example to illustrate the problems identified and the possible ways to address them.
