Mission & Goals
Center for Civilians in Conflict (CIVIC) is an international non-governmental organization dedicated to the protection of civilians in conflict. CIVIC envisions a world in which no civilian is harmed in conflict, and believe that the protection of civilians is a strategic imperative, not just a moral and legal obligation. We work alongside communities affected by violence to strengthen their own protection and advocate for their rights; we engage armed actors and decision makers to prevent and respond to harm to civilians, influencing policies and practices to make civilian protection a global priority. From the Middle East to Ukraine, the Horn of Africa to the Sahel, CIVIC bridges the gap between civilians and those with the power to protect them, turning laws and principles into real protection on the ground. When civilians are harmed, we also advocate for the provision of amends and post-harm assistance.
