CIVIC Welcomes US Congressional Caucus on the Protection of Civilians

CIVIC welcomes today’s release of the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response Action Plan (CHMR-AP), an ambitious plan to overhaul how the United States prevents and responds to civilian harm. Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III mandated the CHMR-AP in a January 2022 memo, following civil society calls for urgent reforms after over 20 years of repeated civilian harm without meaningful accountability, learning, or policy change.

The peacekeeping Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (MONUSCO) faces a paradox. MONUSCO is mandated both to protect civilians and to support operations by the Congolese national army (FARDC), a military whose soldiers are regularly responsible for endangering civilians by committing violations of international humanitarian and human rights law.
