Armed conflict in Georgia: a case study in humanitarian action and peacekeeping Forced Migration Online (24276783) Migration, asylum and refugee law FORCED MIGRATION ONLINE ETHNIC CONFLICT ECONOMIC CHANGE HUMAN RIGHTS HUMANITARIAN INTERVENTION PEACE EFFORTS CONFLICT RESOLUTION UN OSCE ABKHAZIANS OSSETIANS This is a study of the world's response to three internal armed conflicts in the Republic of Georgia that were associated with the collapse of the centrally planned Soviet economy. The narrative is organized topically, moving from a description of the background of the various conflicts through an examination of the resulting humanitarian and peacekeeping activities and their interaction. The study highlights the problems humanitarian agencies are faced with by blurring war related needs with Georgia's broader economic collapse. It analyzes in detail reasons why international strategies have been unable to ease the underlying conflicts and the fallout from the unresolved crises on humanitarian prospects. Recommendations include detaching humanitarian action more clearly from peacekeeping undertakings while at the same time encouraging greater consultation between the two sets of actors and giving higher priority to diplomatic efforts to resolve conflict. 2026-09-30T11:38:38Z Text Online resource 10.25446/oxford.33376471.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/online_resource/Armed_conflict_in_Georgia_a_case_study_in_humanitarian_action_and_peacekeeping/33376471 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
