From September 10-11 2007 the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark and DanChurchAid hosted an international seminar ‘Protection of Civilians – Learning from Darfur’ in Copenhagen. The seminar had a rich diversity of speakers and participants including both field practitioners to policy representatives.

The second day involved a smaller group of the panellists, facilitators and organisers reflecting on the presentations, views, experiences and collective thinking of the previous day, with a view to translating these into concrete recommendations for future actions.

The recommendations involve: Protection System, Prevention, The Role of the Police in Protection, Evaluation, and Political Dialogue.
