To fulfil its mission, L’Osservatorio:

Information and Research:

• We provide regular updates on conflicts and their impact on civilians.
• We monitor and present scientific publications and field reports from NGOs and international organisations involved in civilian protection and humanitarian aid.
• We conduct, independently or in partnership, targeted research on topics such as civilian protection in armed conflict, victim assistance, and humanitarian disarmament—giving a platform to victims by telling their stories and highlighting their needs.

Networking and Public Engagement:

• We promote institutional partnerships with universities, research centres, NGOs, international organisations, and think tanks. Our goal is to deepen collective understanding and facilitate the exchange of knowledge, data, and best practices around civilian protection and conflict prevention.
• We organise thematic conferences and workshops to bring together experts, academics, and humanitarian professionals to explore critical issues such as respect for International Humanitarian Law, prevention of war-related suffering, and post-conflict reintegration.
