    There is something rather magical in the idea of a 'safe zone' - almost as if by declaring an area to be safe one can make it so.

The history of 'safe areas' in Iraq, Bosnia, Rwanda, Sri Lanka and Sudan shows some of the severe limitations in the 'safety' that has been offered - reflecting the complex agendas of national and international actors who may perpetrate or tolerate large-scale abuse despite - and often under the cover of - an officially declared 'safe area'.
