PAX signs on to civil society definitions paper
PAX, alongside a number of other organizations, has signed onto a definitions paper. It demonstrates widespread civil society consensus on a number of important - and often poorly understood - terms, including casualty recording, civilian harm tracking, and casualty counting.
The paper, an initiative by Every Casualty Counts, seeks to codify a common definition of the main approaches to documenting and monitoring of casualties in situations of armed conflict and human rights violations, through a collaborative effort. It provides a brief description of each approach, focusing on the features which distinguish them.
The definitions have been developed and agreed by Every Casualty Counts, Bellica Consulting, CIVIC, the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), and PAX.
