Humanitarians in Court: How Duty of care travelled from human resources to legal liability
The research examines the transition of 'duty of care' from an internal NGO management norm to a legally enforceable liability, using the case of Steven Patrick Dennis v. the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) as a primary example. The Oslo District Court found the NRC grossly negligent following the 2012 kidnapping of staff in the Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya, ruling that the organization must adhere to the same due care standards as any other employer, regardless of the humanitarian context.
