Daryeelka waajibka ah ee shaqaalaha bani'aadamnimo waa arrin degdeg ah. Sida ay qabaan xogta, 'Duty of care for humanitarian workers is a pressing issue. Conflict-affected setting pose high physical safety and security risks. In 2024, 387 humanitarian workers were killed; 97% were national and local staff.

Qeexitaanka Waajibka Daryeelka

Waajibka daryeelka ee qaybta bani'aadamnimada waxa uu tilmaamayaa waajibka anshaxeed iyo mid sharci ee ururada in ay qaadaan dhammaan tallaabooyinka macquulka ah ee ka hortagaya, yareynaya iyo ka jawaabaya khataraha jireed, maskaxeed, sharci iyo anshaxeed ee la saadaalin karo ee saameeya shaqaalaha bani'aadamnimo iyo kuwa la xidhiidha.

Waajibku wuxuu qaadanayaa mas'uuliyadda badbaadada iyo amniga, caafimaadka iyo fayo-qabka, shuruudo shaqo oo sinnaan ah, helitaanka qaan-qaad iyo hababka la-wargaadhi karo, iyo ixtiraamka sharafta ka hor, inta lagu jiro iyo ka dib hawlgelinta ama shaqaalaynta.

Iskaashiga Cilmi-baarista iyo Goobta Myanmar

Daraasadani waa qayb ka mid ah cilmi-bahayn ballaaran oo ku saabsan waajibka daryeelka, oo ay ku jirto kala duwanaanshaha helitaanka ee u dhexeeya shaqaalaha caalamiga ah iyo kuwa maxalliga ah iyo ururada caalamiga ah iyo kuwa maxalliga ah.

Warqaddani waa natiijo ka dhalatay iskaashi u dhexeeya Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC), Humanitarian Advisory Group (HAG) iyo wada-hawlgalayaasha cilmi-baarista qaranka, sida ku xusan xogta la xaqiijiyay.

Khatarta iyo Saamaynta Maaliyadda

Gobollo ay colaadu hayso waxay keenaan khatar sare oo ku wajahan badbaadada jireed iyo amniga shaqaalaha bani'aadamnimo, sida ay caddeeyeen ilaha. Tani waxay muujinaysaa baahida degdegga ah ee daryeelka waajibka ah ee dhammaan heerarka.

Sannadkii 2024, 387 shaqaale bani'aadamnimo ayaa la dilay; 97% waxay ahaayeen shaqaale qaran iyo kuwo maxalli ah. Goynta baaxadda leh ee maalgelinta gargaarka ayaa dib u qaabaynaysa xaaladda ay shaqaalahu ka jawaabayaan khataraha.

Duty of care for humanitarian workers is a pressing issue, especially as conflict-affected settings pose high physical safety and security risks. In 2024, 387 humanitarian workers were killed, with 97% being national and local staff, underscoring the urgent need for systemic change.

The Human Cost of Inaction

Duty of care in the humanitarian sector refers to the moral and legal obligation of organisations to take all reasonable measures to prevent, mitigate and respond to foreseeable physical, psychological, legal and ethical harms affecting humanitarian personnel and affiliated workers. It encompasses responsibility for safety and security, health and wellbeing, equitable working conditions, access to grievance and accountability mechanisms, and respect for dignity before, during and after deployment or employment.

In 2024, 387 humanitarian workers were killed, with 97% being national and local staff. This staggering figure highlights the disproportionate risks borne by local workers, who often lack the same protections and resources as their international counterparts.

Funding Cuts and Rising Risks

Sweeping cuts to aid funding are reshaping the context in which humanitarian staff are responding and the risks they face. These financial constraints not only limit the ability of organisations to provide adequate safety measures but also exacerbate existing inequalities between international and local staff.

Conflict-affected settings pose high physical safety and security risks, making the duty of care imperative. The combination of rising conflicts and reduced funding creates a challenging environment where the protection of humanitarian workers is increasingly at risk.

A Collaborative Path Forward

This case study is part of broader research on duty of care, including the discrepancies in access between international and local staff and international and local organisations. It results from a collaboration between the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC), Humanitarian Advisory Group (HAG) and national research partners.

The paper aims to increase evidence and clarity about the key duty of care issues faced by local and national staff, the inequalities in existing systems and structures, and how the sector can change to reduce these disparities.
