Description
PLEASE NOTE: This episode's interview is in French.
Search and Rescue operations at sea constitute a relatively new field in the humanitarian sector. Humanitarian negotiations in this domain tend to suffer from a limited ‘room for manoeuvre’ due to the maritime environment in which they take place, the actors involved, and the legal impediment increasingly posed by national authorities. Teams need to prepare strategically to reduce risks for their operations while complying with international and maritime law.
This week we discuss with Carla Melki, an experienced humanitarian who shared about the many challenges of providing life-saving assistance at sea.
This is part of the third season of "Frontline Negotiators: Stories from the Field". It features personal stories told by humanitarian professionals as they negotiate to access, assist and protect people in crisis.
Across the season you will hear first-hand accounts from humanitarian workers from different backgrounds, agencies, nationalities and technical profiles who will share about the challenge of delivering aid in some of the most high-pressure environments in the world.
The series is produced by the Centre of Competence on Humanitarian Negotiation.

Les négociations dans ce domaine sont particulières en raison de l'environnement dans lequel elles se déroulent, des acteurs impliqués, et des obstacles juridiques de plus en plus souvent posés par les autorités nationales. La capacité à préparer stratégiquement les équipes devient alors un facteur clé pour réduire les risques et maximiser la sécurité, tout en respectant les conventions internationales et le droit maritime.
Nous en discutons avec Carla Melki, une humanitaire expérimentée à la fois sur terre et en mer, qui nous parle des défis liés à ce domaine.
