Geneva Call is one of the world’s leading organizations in the field of humanitarian engagement with AGDAs. Geneva Call is active in 16 contexts worldwide, with offices in all of them, and has developed a humanitarian engagement with more than 170 AGDAs since 2000.
Geneva Calls strives to improve the protection of civilians during armed conflicts by engaging armed groups and de facto authorities (AGDAs) to respect international humanitarian norms – international humanitarian law (IHL) and international human rights law (IHRL).
The possibility of humanitarian organizations engaging all parties to the conflict is provided for in Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions. This work in no way changes the legal status of AGDAs.
The commitment to safeguarding civilians is distinctive and steadfast at Geneva Call. Geneva Call is the only organization in the world whose only focus is on bringing about long-lasting behavior change among Armed Groups and de facto Authorities (AGDA) to advance the protection of civilians, whereas other organizations also aim to increase knowledge of humanitarian standards.
