Maat is working on raising the awareness of international humanitarian law and build capacities in relation to disarmament at the local, regional and international levels through:
- Training and Rehabilitation programs
- Preparing research papers, periodic reports and case studies
- Visiting conflict affected areas and monitoring violations
Thus, Maat's team seeks to raise awareness of the conventions that must be adhered to on the ground, and we aspire to create a safe environment in which individuals can live side by side in peace while fully respecting their basic rights.

- Why do we work in the field of international humanitarian law?
As an organization with a long history and a proven track record in promoting human rights around the world, participation in the specific complementary legal framework governing armed conflict (international humanitarian law) provides Maat with a more comprehensive basis for promoting respect for human dignity in all situations and circumstances.
- Our legal references
Our legal participation in international humanitarian law and international human rights law is guided by the notion that all persons are entitled Certain protections under international law It must be respected at all times, through urging compliance with and enforcement of these basic legal standards before, during and after armed conflict, we seek to create an environment in which the humanitarian standards and principles defined by the four Geneva Conventions of 1949 and its additional protocols of 1977 can be known to limit the barbarism of wars and protect people not taking part in hostilities (Civilians, health workers, aid workers) and those who have ceased to participate in hostilities (wounded, sick, shipwrecked soldiers, prisoners of war).
