Humanitarian Principles

Humanitarian principles are guiding values that ensure aid efforts are effective, ethical, and respectful. They include humanity (preventing suffering and protecting life), neutrality (not favoring any side in conflicts), impartiality (helping based on need without bias), and independence (maintaining the autonomy of aid from political or military influences). These principles help organizations deliver help fairly and safely, focusing on those most in need while respecting their dignity and rights, regardless of race, religion, or background.
