Research Ethics in Complex Humanitarian Emergencies

---

Situations involving conflict and forced migration have become in- creasingly commonplace in today’s world. The need to understand the causes, consequences, and characteristics of these situations is creating a burgeoning field of research. But given the nature of complex emergency settings, traditional research guidelines may be inappropriate. The research and policy community has recognized this problem and has begun to ad- dress issues surrounding the ethics of doing research in emergency settings and among conflict-affected and displaced populations. The Roundtable on the Demography of Forced Migration, under the aegis of the Commit- tee on Population of the National Research Council, held a workshop to examine some of these issues. This report to the roundtable summarizes the workshop presentations and discussion but does not make any attempt to provide guidelines, conclusions, or recommendations for researchers or policy makers.
