Can You Get Sued?

In November 2011, Edward Kemp and Maarten Merkelbach published a paper for the Security Management Initiative (SMI) titled "Can You Get Sued? Legal liability of International Humanitarian Aid Organizations Towards Their Staff." It's a very good and important read, but at 81 pages, might be a bit of a time hit for the busy NGO security practitioner. I see Bob Macpherson has summarized key points from the report on his blog. If you (or your senior management) haven't read the SMI paper in its entirety, be sure to check out Bob's excellent executive summary.
