Geneva Call is an international non-governmental organization based in Geneva, Switzerland, dedicated to promoting the protection of civilians in armed conflict. Since its inception in 2000, it has engaged with armed non-state actors to encourage their compliance with international humanitarian norms. The organization focuses on issues such as the protection of children, the prohibition of sexual violence, and the ban on anti-personnel mines, working through dialogue and advocacy to foster adherence to humanitarian principles.
Operating in conflict zones worldwide, Geneva Call employs a unique approach by directly engaging with non-state armed groups to secure commitments to international humanitarian standards. Its efforts are crucial in regions where state governance is weak or absent, and where armed groups exert significant control. By facilitating the signing of Deeds of Commitment, Geneva Call has made significant strides in enhancing civilian safety and upholding human rights in challenging environments.
