Modern conflict is governed by lightly armed militias and banditry.

Civilians become victims and pawns: Genocide, ethnic cleansing, humanitarian disasters.

Aid organisations are attacked, humanitarian aid is misused.

Aid provided by the international community - in particular protection - is "too little, too late"

Focused protection of humanitarian installations such as hospitals, refugee camps, food supply, etc.

Agile protection through standing, autonomous and rapidly deployable formations, backed by a mandate of the international community (UNO).

Authoritarian protection through lightly armed and effectively trained police formations.

Protection is accepted by the population and conflict parties alike thanks to credibility and impartiality.
