	Humanitarian aid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Humanitarian aid arriving by plane at Rinas Airport in Albania in the summer of 1999.

	Crimes Of War Project > The Book
		Humanitarian aid was supposed to be beyond the politics of the war, beyond all questions of military or psychological advantage.
		The bitter truth was that to stand for international laws governing the free movement of humanitarian aid was to stand against the war aims of the Bosnian Serbs and, to a lesser extent, the Bosnian Croats, and their respective masters in Belgrade and Zagreb as well.
		Fighters on all sides use humanitarian relief supplies for their own purposes, and the laws do not adequately come to grips with the problem of a war in which the distinction between soldier and civilian is unclear, if it exists at all.

		Coordination and effective leadership of the humanitarian relief effort is extremely important in order to minimize duplication and conflicting activities and to maximize the exchange and flow of intelligence in an extremely difficult and stressful working environment.
		Humanitarian aid that ensures that non-combatants are fed, sheltered, and healthy, but does not alleviate the violence around them, can lead to the "specter of the well-fed dead." Even more disturbing, the provision of humanitarian assistance can give non-combatants a mistaken sense of security and protection by the international community, with tragic consequences.
		Aid is fungible; because populations and troops are being fed by aid, fighting parties no longer have to worry about providing for this need themselves and are thus able to put more resources into fighting.

	Humanitarianism & War Project
		Humanitarian activities have been an extension of the cold war by other means, with the result that political goals have been pursued largely in a humanitarian vacuum.
		Humanitarian assistance in the tradition of the Geneva Conventions and Protocols of 1949 and 1977 is for the urgent human needs of civilians and captured and wounded soldiers on both sides of conflicts without political or military objectives.
		Aid has come to be viewed primarily as an investment in the economic and military stability of allies, while the alleviation of human need has become secondary.

	Reason: Anti-Humanitarian Aid: The moral case for ending assistance to dictatorships (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Dictators who demand aid to stave off mass starvation must account for the misery and hunger caused when they divert aid to supporters and cut off opponents.
		Aid placates enough people to ensure the regime's survival, but for every soul saved by foreign aid, more will perish because of the continued existence of that regime.
		Official aid policy must be fundamentally rethought for the worst regimes; it must be driven by the goal of sustaining the African people, not dictators in league with ideologically blinded do-gooders.

		These exemptions for food, medicine and other humanitarian supplies are designed to alleviate the suffering of the Iraqi people while preserving the integrity of the sanctions regime.
		The amount of humanitarian aid available to the Iraqi people under UNSCR 1153 represents the most extensive relief effort in the history of the United Nations.
		Although the U.S. is determined not to lift the economic sanctions until Saddam Hussein fully complies with all UN resolutions, it is equally committed to minimizing the humanitarian consequences for the Iraqi people.
