The Humanitarian Intervention Centre Project serves as a division of the Human Security Centre. The origins of this project are found in the Humanitarian Intervention Centre, which focussed on issues surrounding intervention.
Whilst the work of the Human Security Centre is now broader, the organisation maintains an expertise on these issues, and continues to produce expert research and analysis on possible international responses to mass-atrocity crimes and humanitarian crisis. On such issues, drawing attention to the consequences of both action, and inaction, are an important contribution to public discourse.
The HIC Project has produced evidence for multiple Parliamentary Committee inquiries, which have been widely cited and regarded as influential contributions to important policy debate. These are available below.
