The CMPW-POC is a two-day workshop that will focus on the Protection of Civilians during international and domestic crises. With the changes in nature of
conflict, the increasing severity and frequency of sudden-onset disasters, more attention needs to be paid to understanding how government, humanitarian actors
and civil society can best protect civilians. The workshop features a series of lectures, panel discussions and activities.
