An event co-hosted by the International Committee of the Red Cross and the All Party Parliamentary Group on Conflict Issues
This document is a summary of the discussions that took place at an event co-hosted by the International Committee of the Red Cross and the All Party Parliamentary Group on Conflict Issues on 21st March 2013 in Portcullis House, Westminster.
This event brought together expert commentators on the phenomenon of “urban violence” to review urbanisation trends, how they relate to violence and what an appropriate humanitarian response to this problem might look like. Violence that occurs in an urban setting, outside of the framework of an armed conflict, is a problem that humanitarian actors are increasingly concerned by. The clear needs that exist are leading the humanitarian community to re-evaluate both the support they are able to give to tackle the consequences of urban violence and the basis for doing do.
