	Humanitarianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Humanitarianism is based on a view that all human beings deserve respect and dignity and should be treated as such.
		Humanitarians abhor slavery, violation of basic and human rights, and discrimination on the basis of features such as color of skin, religion, ancestry, place of birth, etc. Humanitarianism is embraced by movements and people across the political spectrum, and particularly (but not exclusively) by leftists.
		Humanitarianism was probably most publicly seen in the social reforms of the late 1800s and early 1900s, following the economic turmoil of the Industrial Revolution in England.

	Reflections on speaking out or remaining silent in humanitarian activity
		From the point of view of a humanitarian organization the activities of which are based on rules of international humanitarian law, it is also interesting — with our subject in mind — to deal with the origins, the unfolding and the possible outcomes of conflicts.
		In a public statement on the Kosovo crisis in September 1998, the ICRC drew attention to the critical situation of civilians and emphasized that responsibility for ensuring the safety of and respect for the civilian population lay with the Serbian authorities.
		For a humanitarian organization like the ICRC — which is almost always involved in contexts ranging from the emotional to the irrational — this also seems to me to be an important lesson.

	Security challenges for humanitarian action
		The ICRC is an independent humanitarian organization, with an international legal personality, which protects and assists victims of armed conflicts and internal strife worldwide.
		If those who might be tempted to attack humanitarian workers could be convinced that their deeds would elicit more than easily forgotten verbal reprimands on the part of the international community, the security environment for humanitarian organizations would no doubt improve considerably.
		Although this military campaign was declared to be a “humanitarian intervention”, the ICRC had to make it clear from the very beginning that under the 1949 Geneva Conventions the hostilities simply qualified as an international armed conflict, whatever the political motives behind it.
