Diakonia is a Swedish civil
society organisation working with a long-term and rights-based perspective to
advance democracy and human rights,
social and economic
justice, gender equality, and peace and justice in developing countries. Our
mission is to change unfair political, economic and social structures which
generate poverty, oppression and violence.
Since 2004 Diakonia is
running an International Humanitarian Law Resource Centre with the aim of
increasing respect for and further implementation of international law,
specifically IHL and IHRL, in the Israel-Palestinian conflict.
Respect for the
International Humanitarian Law and protection of civilians is fundamental in the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict, recognising occupation and thereby the
applicability of IHL, as well as for the importance of state building. As
synergies are sought between the state building agenda and humanitarian
interventions, IHL is an important tool for developing policy options on how to
address the conflict. Diakonia is supporting the humanitarian and international
community to mainstream IHL into policies, programmes and discourse. Together
with the diplomatic missions we strive for collective advancement regarding the
deteriorating humanitarian situation.
We are now seeking a
