Nurses played a significant role in providing care to Kosovar and East Timorese refugees at the East Hills Reception Centre in Sydney, Australia, during Operation Safe Haven in 1999–2000. To ascertain the needs of nurses in this setting, 13 nurses participated in two focus group interviews, and two in‐depth interviews were conducted with nursing managers. Qualitative thematic analysis was conducted on the resulting transcripts. Nurses reported that, overall, they had the necessary clinical skills but needed specific refugee health profiles and training in culturally competent and trauma‐sensitive care. The nurses experienced trauma‐related, cultural, environmental and role‐related stressors. They used a variety of informal psychosocial supports but reported the need for ongoing counselling and debriefing. While clinical skills were considered important, nurses identified other factors as having more impact on their ability to provide comprehensive care for traumatized refugees, particularly their role as client advocates.

“…However, this state-centred framework of civilian protection has been, and continues to be, frequently overlooked or violated in the practice of conflict. Either states do not adhere to their responsibility to protect civilians, are functionally unable to provide security for this group of persons, or their armies are in fact the perpetrators of the violence (Bruderlein and Leaning, 1999, pp. 430–35).…”

The concept of the civilian: legal recognition, adjudication and the trials of international criminal justice

Contemporary initiatives to address civilian victimisation in armed conflict increasingly focus on international criminal justice institutions, rules and practices. These institutions are now expected to construct legal recognition of civilian victims of armed conflict, as well as prosecute the perpetrators. This article uses a case-study of the Prosecutor v. Dragomir Milošević heard by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia to explore the concept of the civilian. It first examines the international legal frameworks and obligations that enforce the protection of civilians. It then explores the concept of the civilian as defined by the rules of humanitarian law, and the different approaches to defining civilians utilised by the parties to the Milošević trial. The article argues that the current 'negative' definition of civilians creates significant difficulties for understanding civilians as a distinct category of persons, and does not adequately capture their choices, actions and experiences in armed conflict.
