"Some 45 participants from the United Nations, international humanitarian and development organizations, non-governmental human rights and humanitarian organizations, different agencies of the US government and the US military, academic institutions and the diplomatic community came together at the Brookings Institution on 14 September to discuss current challenges in protecting civilians. Meeting under Chatham House rule, participants explored the question of what protection of civilians – both conceptually and on the ground – means, the role of different actors in protecting civilians and the dilemmas faced in operationalizing protection in situations of armed conflict. Discussion was rich and diverse and no attempt was made to reach consensus on any of these points. Rather this report pulls out certain themes that emerged in the discussion in the hope that subsequent discussions can take the debate further"
