The book explores the ethical framework of humanitarian principles—humanity, neutrality, and impartiality—and their challenges in the evolving landscape where humanitarian aid increasingly intersects with politics. It argues that relief organizations must reassess these principles to prevent political manipulation and engage more actively in the political sphere to mitigate long-term societal damage. The author delves into the complexities of legal and political issues in emergencies, providing insights for practitioners on navigating neutrality and the role of external actors, while also evaluating the Sphere process as a guideline for contemporary humanitarian efforts.
