TY - JOUR PY - 1998// TI - Promoting norms to limit violence in crisis situations: challenges, strategies and alliances JO - International review of the Red Cross (1961) A1 - Harroff-Tavel, Marion SP - 5 EP - 20 VL - 38 IS - 322 N2 - In Somalia, a group of young actors, musicians and scriptwriters are working on a play which is to be produced, filmed and distributed in the form of a video throughout the country. One scene shows a young militiaman boasting of how he has terrorized the population and the reaction of the woman he loves. She evokes the suffering caused by his conduct and refuses to marry a man who has disregarded the code of honour of his clan. This creative work contains a message for young militiamen about the effect of unbridled violence on both its victims and its perpetrators.
