Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards in Disaster Response
by The Sphere Project
This was launched after the Rwandan crisis and it’s based on human rights – specifically that everyone has the right to live in dignity. This is enshrined in international law but the handbook tries to define what dignity is. There is now a minimum standard for providing food relief, sanitation, shelter and so forth.
