How we prepare for and respond to crises
We prepare for and respond to many crises, including conflicts, intra-communal violence, civil unrest, mass
protests and environmental disasters, as well as terrorist attacks and shootings, around the world. In 2025, we
initiated and coordinated crisis responses in Cameroon, India (Kashmir), Indonesia, Libya, Madagascar, Nepal,
Serbia, Tanzania and Thailand-Cambodia, among other countries and territories. We continued our efforts for
designated crises under the Crisis Policy Protocol for the conflicts in Ukraine, Sudan and the Middle East. We
address these designated crises in our previous Human Rights Reports.
During a period of crisis, we rely on the Crisis Policy Protocol as a key tool. The protocol guides our expedited
use of levers to mitigate potential harm as described in our 2024 Human Rights Report. The specific types of
responses deployed are consistent with observed risks. They are informed by past crisis interventions, human
rights principles and the law of armed conflict.
On the next page, we illustrate how we prepare for and respond to crises and conflict-affected and high-risk
areas, using an example from a region not featured in our previous reports.
