Abstract
This brief focuses on contemporary operational dilemmas faced by international actors in CAR, centering on the perspectives of humanitarian actors as well as civilian staff, police, and peacekeeping forces of the integrated United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA). The perspectives of displaced populations, local civil society, and armed actors are also addressed. This brief may be read alone or alongside a companion brief (Research Brief 2 on CAR), which focuses on issues of civilian protection and everyday criminal justice for displaced populations. The field research that generated these findings was conducted by the author during a three-week visit to CAR in April 2019.2 This investigation is part of a larger project that explores the way in which IHL’s civilian-combatant distinction circulates amongst international actors in armed conflict settings, including contexts such as South Sudan.
