- Humanity: the purpose of humanitarian action is to protect life and health and ensure respect for human beings. We will address human suffering wherever it is found in terms of our work and areas of operations.
- Neutrality: we pledge to not taking sides in hostilities or engage in controversies of a political, racial, religious, or ideological nature.
- Impartiality: we pledge to carry out Humanitarian action based on need alone, giving priority to the most urgent cases of distress and making no distinctions based on nationality, race, gender, religious belief, class, or political opinions.
- Independence: we pledge to remain autonomous from the political, economic, military, or other objectives that any actor may hold with regard to areas where humanitarian action is being implemented.
We are proud members of the CHS Alliance, and we remain committed to the full application of the Core Humanitarian Standards Alliance and its principles as set out below:
