The purpose of this Handbook is to lay out the existing normative framework regulating humanitarian access in situations of armed conflict. It is hoped that it serves as a useful reference source for humanitarian practitioners and therefore enhances better access to civilian populations in need.

 

The companion Field Manual provides a structured approach and practical guidance for humanitarian practitioners on humanitarian access in situations of armed conflict.
