RESUMO
L' auteur d' abord que la période de l' aprés-guerre froide est certes caractérisée par l' absence de guerres à l' échelle internationale. n revanche, l' insécurité n' a jamais été aussi grande dans certaines régions du monde que de nos jours. Pour preuve, il évoque la recrudescence des conflicts internes ainsi que la prolifération et la disponibolité des armes de petit calibre. Se référant aux expériences vécues dans différentes situations de conflict, l' auteur souligne le rôle que peuvent jouer les ONG non seulement dans la recherche d' une solution négocicée mais encore, et surtout, dans la prévention du recours à la violence. Les activités du CICR et de certaines Sociétes nationales de la Croix-Rouge sont tout particuliérement mises en évidence (AU)

On the afternoon of sunday 28 april 1986, a lone gunman opened fire on visitors and staff at the Port Arthur historic site. By the time the gunman was arrested the next morning, 35 people had been killed and 18 wounded. The Tasmanian emergency welfare plan identifies the Department od Community and Health Services as the lead agency for providing personal services in the event of an emergency and/or disaster and throughout the disaster recovery. The management of a comparatively large 24 hour relief effort in a small rural community required a delicate balancing of resources while being sensitive to communnity needs and expectations. The centre played a significant role in ensuring that support services to the Tasman Peninsula were responsive to community needs (AU)

An overview is provided of forense aspects of the scene of multiple fatal shootings at Port Arthur and subsequent mortuary investigations along with a brief review of injury patterns of the victims. The forensic aspects of this disaster were handled extremely well by all personnel involved, despite outdated mortuary facilities. The mortuary is located within a teaching hopital which provided full support and backup allowing the forensic personnel work effectively and effeciently in a non-ideal enviroment.The autopsies were more lengthy and complex than would have been expeced in a similar number of cases in a bus or aviation accident.
