Abstract

This article beckons readers to reflect on the extreme acts of violence inflicted on populations when civil warfare degenerates into war against civilians. The authors raise the issue of political, media, and humanitarian choices determining the response of industrial countries to crisis situations in economically challenged countries. They advocate an approach based on the "assist and testify" principle of Médecins Sans Frontières.
