Course Overview

Humanitarian actions should be guided by principles of humanity, the centrality of saving human lives and alleviating suffering wherever it is found, impartiality, neutrality, and independence. The most fundamental objective of any humanitarian action is to save lives, alleviate suffering and maintain human dignity during and in the aftermath of man-made crises and natural disasters, as well as to prevent and strengthen preparedness for the occurrence of such situations.
