Are “Doctors Without Borders” (MSF) doctors without a homeland? Based on fifty interviews, statistical data and a participatory observation, this articledescribes humanitarian mission conditions limiting local integration and suggests three forms of attachment: home (“break expatriates”), elsewhere (“multi‑homeland expatriates”) or nowhere (“duty‑free expatriates”). For the latter, MSF plays, until their departure from the organization, the role of substitute homeland. Son los “Médicos sin Fronteras” (MSF) médicos sin patria? Basado en cincuenta entrevistas, datos estadísticos y una observación participante, este artículo describe condiciones de misión humanitaria que limitan la integración local y propone tres formas de apego: en casa (“expatriados paréntesis”), en otros lugares (“expatriados multipátridos») o en ninguna parte (“expatriados duty‑free”). Para estos últimos, MSF desempeña el papel de patria sustituta hasta que dejen la organización. Les « Médecins Sans Frontières » (MSF) sont‑ils des médecins sans patrie ? Basé sur une cinquantaine d’entretiens, des données statistiques et uneobservation participante, cet article décrit des conditions de mission humanitaire limitant l’intégration locale et dégage trois formes d’attachement : chez soi (« expatriés parenthèse »), ailleurs (« expatriés multipatrides ») ou nulle part (« expatriés duty‑free »). Pour ces derniers, MSF joue, jusqu’à leur départ de l’organisation, le rôle de patrie de substitution.

AbstractOver the past ten years, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has provided medical care to almost 118,000 victims of sexual violence. Integrating related care into MSF general assistance to populations affected by crisis and conflicts has presented a considerable institutional struggle and continues to be a challenge. Tensions regarding the role of MSF in providing care to victims of sexual violence and when facing the multiple challenges inherent in dealing with this crime persist. An overview of MSF's experience and related reflection aims to share with the reader, on the one hand, the complexity of the issue, and on the other, the need to continue fighting for the provision of adequate medical care for victims of sexual violence, which despite the limitations is feasible.
