to these technologies. In the future, findings from the research underlying this paper
as well as alerts and suggestions from other sources should be investigated further
both through analysis and cross-comparisons with other fields and through practical
sessions, workshops and discussions. These can contribute to the growing field of a
responsible and sustainable use of technology for the benefit of conflict- and disasteraffected communities. They can inform aid efforts that safeguard the humanitarian
principles and in their work ‘do no harm’ and do no digital harm either.
