Question

What makes MSF stand out among other humanitarian organizations?​

Answer 1

Doctors Without Borders, French Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), international humanitarian group dedicated to providing medical care to people in distress, including victims of political violence and natural disasters.At a roundtable with NATO policymakers, I was asked whether during crises in which both military forces and humanitarian organizations are present, there is a way to coordinate their efforts without compromising the primary security function of the former or the independence of the latter.

From the perspective of Doctors without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and other humanitarian NGOs, I think the short answer is: No, you cannot do this. Furthermore, you should not try to, particularly in conflict situations. There is a fundamental incompatibility between waging a war (using military or other means, including distribution of relief supplies) and conducting humanitarian action.
