The roles of the health sector and health workers before, during and after violent conflict
Starting with a view of war as a significant population health problem, this article explores the roles of health workers in relation to violent conflict. Four different roles are identified, defined by goals and values--military, development, humanitarian and peace. In addition, four dimensions of health work are seen as cross-cutting factors influencing health work in violent conflict-- whether the health worker is an insider or outsider to the…

‘Iraq Water Treatment Vulnerabilities’
A formerly classified US document, 'Iraq Water Treatment Vulnerabilities,' provides evidence that ill health was knowingly induced in the population of Iraq through the ruination of that country's water purification system.

We propose here two state…

The Use of Health Initiatives as Peace Initiatives
This paper explores the relationship between health initiatives and peace initiatives in the context of armed conflict. Our working definition of a “Health‐Peace Initiative” (HPI) is any initiative that intends to improve the health of people and that simultaneously heightens that group's level of peace, whether this peace is internal to the group or between the group and one or more other groups. We seek to identify multiple tracks to peace with…
