Indee d\, my doctoral research deals with war as a context that produces lar ge-scale human suffering and violations of human rights and of Interna tional Humanitarian Law (IHL). Therefore\, the focus is on how the dis course foregrounds or backgrounds humanitarian operations in politics –\; e.g.\, how EU discourse aligns with the humanitarian principl es of neutrality and humanity and how EU texts ‘\;talk’\; ab out “civilians\,” “victims\,” “protection\,” “relief\, ” “needs\,” and “vulnerable groups.” Using a corpus-based HD A approach\, it explores how language both reflects and shapes the EU ’s identity as a humanitarian actor\, its crisis response strategies \, and its engagement with affected populations. The findings are inte nded to contribute to both discourse studies and humanitarian research by providing empirical insights into the ethical and discursive dimen sions of EU operations in conflict zones\, ultimately fostering more t ransparent and principled humanitarian action.
