About the Book

The human consequences of famine and disease, ethnic conflicts and military aggression are all too visible to concerned citizens everywhere. How can human rights be protected in times of disaster? What is the role of international relief organizations? This volume addresses the responsibilities and challenges of providing humanitarian assistance to civilian populations caught up in conflicts and disasters. It demonstrates how global co-operation on health-related problems can open doors to political negotiations.
