Our Principles

Humanity

Victimization of individuals and communities need to be eliminated regardless of geography. The aim of humanitarian aid is to protect people’s health and wellbeing and provide a future suitable for human dignity. We support life with an ideal for a peaceful living, with an intercultural outlook. We look out for every individual’s access to equal aid and rights.

Independence

Humanitarian aid needs to be independent of political, economic and other bodies of power. We plan our interventions according to our own needs assessment analyses and identify our priorities in supporting life without involving political, economic or military interests.

Impartiality

Humanitarian aid is provided solely according to need; there is no discrimination on the basis of ethnicity, religion or nationality. We support life solely on the basis of rights and needs with no discrimination among those in need.

Neutrality

Humanitarian aid needs to remain neutral in conflict situations and stay clear of political, nationalist, religious or ideological discussions. We do not take sides in any of the conflict zones we operate in and focus on basic needs and rights.

Accountability

Humanitarian aid actors and their actions need to be accountable to all actors including individuals, communities, partners, donors and states. While we support life, we remain aware of our responsibility to be accountable.

Domains of Intervention
