The latest newsletter from
Alertnet has two interesting articles regarding the
accountability of international aid organisations, and the future of international
humanitarian law...
The first article reports on the formal launching of
HAP International (which grew out of the earlier
Humanitarian Accountability Project) as a club for aid agencies willing to
adopt standards (of accountability), to
monitor themselves and to
report openly on their progress and findings...
In the second article
Yves Daccord, director of communications for the
International Committee of the Red Cross, says that, more than ever before,
international humanitarian law remains a vital protection for the most vulnerable in present-day conflicts and still "
seeks to draw a line in the sand between humanity and inhumanity".
