The objective of the ICRC-led workshops that took place between 1996 and 2000 was to determine professional standards to strengthen protection in war. A summary of the results is to be found in Strengthening Protection in War: a search for professional standards, ICRC (2001). It defines a number of useful conceptual references for protection work that include “modes of action” and the “protection response egg”, now widely used.
