Airwars is the pre-eminent global civilian harm watchdog, with a decade’s expertise documenting and exposing civilian harm and holding those responsible to account. We aim to reliably and independently document the human cost of war in order to promote a more peaceful world where human lives are acknowledged and taken into account by militaries, policy-makers, and global citizens with dignity and empathy. Founded in 2014, Airwars engages with states engaging in modern conflicts, such as the United States, United Kingdom, and the Netherlands to review policy, doctrine, and practice on civilian harm mitigation and response, incorporating lessons from recent engagements in order to improve future approaches. Much of this work has led to improved systems and recognition of the consequences of warfare for civilians across the world; in the United States, for instance, over 70 percent of the allegations of civilian harm examined by the Department of Defense originate in the Airwars archive.
