The primary duty of the State to provide humanitarian assistance and the corresponding rights of internally displaced persons 2010, para. 62
Paragraph
Paragraph text
In situations of armed conflict, humanitarian access is often denied by authorities for other reasons as well. They may be unable to provide security to humanitarian organizations in territories that are not under their full control or may fear that humanitarian goods will be diverted by non-State armed groups for military purposes. Even where access exists, the independence of humanitarian actors may be jeopardized as a result of integrated strategies that combine military, political, development and humanitarian interventions in order to win the "hearts and minds" of the population.
