The period considered covers the Darfur crisis from 2003 to end 2006. We make no claim whatsoever that the issues and choices described are representative of those faced by other MSF sections in South and North Darfur. The geographical area considered is the area covered by MSF-France – roughly speaking, West Darfur. Like the case study The Hunting and killing of Rwandan Refugees in Zaire, this study on Darfur is based on an indirectdefinition of protection: what responsibility, what discourse and what practices has MSF adopted with regard to the violence in Darfur, alongside (and in conjunction with) health care provision? We have extended this definition somewhat, as was done for The Hunting…, taking the view that protection – in the form of taking care not to expose civilians to danger – is also actualised in the very way in which relief is deployed (procedures, concrete choices). The debate over priority victims: a debate on "protected" persons? - November 2006 MSF maintains a distinct position on the "protection of civilians" - 2006 International mobilisation for armed intervention: from "genocide" to "insecurity" summer 2004 Relocations: concern for the safety of the displaced - summer 2004 When assistance is equivalent to protection - May 2004ģ - OVER THE LONG TERM, DEFINING A ROLE AMIDST VIOLENCE, INSECURITY AND ISOLATION
