There has been growing awareness in recent years of the wide-ranging negative impacts that counter-terrorism measures and sanctions impose on humanitarian action. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with the staff of international non-governmental organisations (INGOs), this paper examines these impacts on INGOs based in the United Kingdom. This is a context where a particularly complex array of laws, policies, and regulatory regimes have emerged alongside an increasingly hostile political and media setting for INGOs, creating an environment characterised by uncertainty. The paper shows that counter-terrorism measures and sanctions are leading INGOs to adopt more conservative approaches to partnership in areas controlled by proscribed groups, undermining broader commitments to the localisation agenda. The analysis reveals that perceptions of risk within INGOs vary considerably, but that despite this, INGOs have developed strategies to reduce the impacts of counter-terrorism measures, which over time, have led to improved coordination, and in some instances, a willingness to push back against regulations.

反恐和人道主义行动：2015 年以来英国 INGO 的应对措施

近年来，人们越来越认识到反恐措施和制裁对人道主义行动造成的广泛负面影响。本文利用对国际非政府组织 (INGO) 工作人员的半结构化访谈，探讨了这些对总部位于英国的 INGO 的影响。在这种背景下，出现了一系列特别复杂的法律、政策和监管制度，以及对国际非政府组织日益敌对的政治和媒体环境，创造了一个充满不确定性的环境。该文件表明，反恐措施和制裁正在导致国际非政府组织在受禁团体控制的领域采取更加保守的伙伴关系方式，从而破坏了对本地化议程的更广泛承诺。分析显示，国际非政府组织内部对风险的看法差异很大，但尽管如此，国际非政府组织已经制定了减少反恐措施影响的战略，随着时间的推移，这些战略改善了协调，在某些情况下，还愿意推动反恐措施的实施。违反规定。
