In the Western literature, conflict-sensitivity has been etymologically linked with medical practice as alluded to in the Hippocratic Oath taken by newly inducted medical personnel. Although, the original Greek phrase, PrimumNon Nocere (above all, do no harm) was not stated in the Hippocratic Oath, it contains similar words and the promise “to abstain from doing harm” in medical intervention (Smith 2005). Furthermore, the Hippocratic Writings, Epidemics states that, “the physician must be able to tell the antecedents, know the present and foretell the future- must mediate these things and have two special objects in view with regard to disease, namely, to do good or to do no harm.” From its medical origin, the Do – No – Harm principle has been adopted in other fields like development studies, confiict and peace building, journalism and many other contexts.
