The remaining articles are more aspirational and are important to improving the quality of both humanitarian and developmental work.
GETAMPED 2 CRESCENT CODES CODE
The 10 articles of the code fall into two types: Articles 1 through 4 are core humanitarian principles required for humanitarian response.
In our information, publicity and advertising activities, we shall recognize disaster victims as dignified human beings, not hopeless objects.We hold ourselves accountable to both those we seek to assist and those from whom we accept resources.Relief aid must strive to reduce vulnerabilities to future disaster as well as meeting basic needs.Ways shall be found to involve program beneficiaries in the management of relief aid.We shall attempt to build disaster response on local capacities.
We shall endeavor not to be used as an instrument of government foreign policy. Aid will not be used to further a particular political or religious standpoint. Aid priorities are calculated on the basis of need alone Aid is given regardless of the race, creed or nationality of the recipients and without adverse distinction of any kind. The humanitarian imperative comes first. In 1995, at the 26th International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent, which included delegates from governments, the Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies, the IFRC, and the ICRC, a resolution was passed which “took note of” and “welcomed” the code giving it wide international recognition. As of December 2016 more than 600 organizations have signed the code. Although the initiative began with a call by the French Red Cross to the IFRC to draw up a code of conduct relating to humanitarian aid in response to natural disasters, many of the sponsoring agencies had been involved in complex emergencies such as Biafra and Rwanda and were also looking for guidance for operating in the midst of violent conflicts.
