The Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue, otherwise known as the Henry Dunant Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue, or HD, is a private diplomacy organisation based in Switzerland that assists in mediation between conflicting parties to prevent or end armed conflicts.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Home page )〕 Founded in 1999, the aim of the organisation is to promote and facilitate dialogue among the leadership of the main belligerents. It also conducts research and analysis on mediation and peacemaking in support of its operational work to improve international efforts to secure and sustain peace. To do so, HD opens channels of communication and mediates between parties in conflict, as well as facilitates dialogue and provides support to the broader mediation and peacebuilding community.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gpplatform.ch/pbguide/organisation/centre-humanitarian-dialogue )〕 HD will facilitate dialogue in both confidential settings as well as public ones. It is headquartered in Geneva,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.geneve-int.ch/centre-humanitarian-dialogue-hd-centre-0 )〕 which is also the location of its Middle East and North Africa programme. HD has regional offices in Africa and Asia. ==History== The initial intention of HD was to explore new concepts of humanitarian innovation by serving as a venue for dialogue on humanitarian issues - where discreet discussions could take place among those who could have a practical impact on humanitarian policy and practice. The organisation evolved this approach to include negotiations in support of humanitarian objectives and aimed to create space for humanitarian activities in conflict environments. It quickly broadened, at the behest of conflicting parties in Aceh,〔The discreet charms of the international go-betweens〕 to include the resolution of the conflict through mediation and conflict prevention. In July 2015, in recognition of its important role in the mediation of armed conflicts, HD was granted a special status 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.news.admin.ch/message/index.html?lang=fr&msg-id=58018 )〕 by the Federal Council of Switzerland. Through this status, HD was awarded certain privileges and immunities intended to enable its peacemaking efforts worldwide. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
