Abstract
Abstract This chapter discusses the rules governing humanitarian assistance and civil–military cooperation (CIMIC) under international law. A clear separation between the roles of the military and humanitarian actors is needed to distinguish their respective spheres of competence and responsibility. This approach is implicit in and builds on the principles of international humanitarian law, and is crucial to maintaining the independence of humanitarian action. Civil–military coordination is a shared responsibility of the humanitarian and military actors, and it may take place in various levels of intensity and form. Humanitarian workers are prohibited from presenting themselves or their work as part of a military operation, and military personnel are likewise prohibited from presenting themselves as civilian humanitarian workers.
