  • Cover for brief on aid in Ukraine #2
    DIIS Policy Brief
    2024
    Ukraine presents a unique challenge for many international humanitarian organisations. Operating in a context of heightened geo-political and donor interest, and in close proximity to military actors, amateur volunteer groups and Ukrainian civil society are testing the core principles of neutrality and impartiality that once underpinned humanitarian work.
  • Cover for brief on aid in Ukraine
    DIIS Policy Brief
    2024
    An interstate war in Europe presents new security challenges for humanitarians. Along the 960km Ukraine-Russia frontline, humanitarian infrastructure has been hit by shelling, missiles and drone strikes, and aid delivery disrupted by electronic warfare. Supporting specialised training and removing outdated bureaucratic burdens are some of the ways in which donors and policymakers can help humanitarian organisations adapt to this new context.

    Tre år efter at Myanmars stærke militær kuppede sig til magten i 2021, kan det meget vel tabe kampen mod modstanden, der for alvor vandt frem i 2023. Fremtiden for de demokratiske kræfter i Myanmar er dog stadig usikker.

    Det er klogt at udelukke Myanmars militærjunta fra COP, men FN kunne overveje alternative repræsentanter. Som et minimum er det vigtigt, at der er stemmer i COP-regi, der sætter konfliktramte og klimaskrøbelige lande som Myanmar på dagsordenen, så de ikke bliver glemt når der skal deles ud af den globale klimafinansiering.

    Artikel
    2023
    Amerikanske krigsveteraner lider ikke bare af ptsd, men af moralske skader. Forskningen peger på, at de moralske skader kan være endog meget skadelige og langvarige. Desuden tyder meget på, at eksisterende behandlingsformer for ptsd virker dårligt ved moralske skader. En ny terapeutisk tilgang vinder frem i USA. Den har fokus på tilgivelse - og har et stærkt religiøst islæt.

  • Demonstration Palæstina
    Tidsskriftsartikel
    2023
    Modstanden er det eneste, det internationale samfund og Israel har efterladt til palæstinenserne. Efterladt og omgivet af arabiske stater, der prioriterer diplomatiske forbindelser til Israel, ville palæstinenserne til sidst indse, at de havde tabt deres sag, sagde Netanyahu i februar. Denne proces har Hamasangrebet sat på pause eller ligefrem sønderskudt. Nu er alle de tendenser til afspænding i Mellemøsten, som i længere tid havde været i gang, kortsluttet.
