Chatham House works seeks to better understand major international issues and current affairs. Chatham House seeks to promote debate and critical responses on these developments within policy and international relations. As an independent research organisation they offer new and further analysis on complex global, international and national questions. It is hoped that this analysis will inform decision makers and influencers such as MPs, journalists, diplomats. Often their research and analysis is sought by government officials, legislators and other decision-makers.
They have held significant meetings on the impact of IEDs, particularly their humanitarian impact. The expert roundtable –jointly held with Action on Armed Violence- ‘IEDs: The Humanitarian Impact’, attracted NGO, state and UN representatives. The conclusions from this meeting led to trying to quantify the impact of IEDs, a concerted effort to map C-IED responses, collecting and disseminating IED data, defining IEDs, and efforts to engage local communities to avoid IED stigmatization.
Chatham House has also produced reports on the humanitarian impact of IED in Afghanistan. The reports and information produced by Chatham House inform those who work in C-IED response, particularly NGOs providing humanitarian aid.
