Co-creation of the concept of humanitarian justice: perspectives from Humanitarian Observatories practitioners

The Humanitarian Justice Declaration was launched with the aim to bring crisis affected communities to the center of a conversation that is essential during this time in the humanitarian field. The Humanitarian Studies Center and the Humanitarian Observatories embarked on an initiative to co-create and define a humanitarian justice concept with a geographically diverse participation from communities. This research followed the co-creation process to identify the key aspects that communities demanded to have a thematic justice that contests the classical justice constructs. Finally the main focus was on bridging a conceptual framework into practice by interviewing humanitarian practitioners to identify the challenges and opportunities to apply this new framework into their everyday work.
