How should humanitarian organisations respond when their aid goes
awry? Should they stay and remain engaged with the needy, or should
they withdraw and leave? Investigating the choices involved and the
judgements required when tackling these questions, this book
investigates the unique 'Humanitarian Exit Dilemma' that confronts
humanitarian organisations. Humanitarian practitioners often are
too concerned with the outcome of action but fail to recognise that
there are other equally weighty moral considerations they should
consider. Focusing simply on the results of projects, such as the
number of lives saved alone, is inadequate. In order to address
this problem, this book highlights three value-based normative
considerations namely, humanitarian aid workers' special
relationships with those whom they are assisting, humanitarian
organisations' causal responsibility to assist those they have made
vulnerable, and humanitarian organisations' obligations to fulfil
reasonable expectations of those assisted. Together, these three
non-instrumental reasonings serve as the main arguments of the
author's value-based normative account, the 'Non-Consequentialist
Approach', to address the Humanitarian Exit Dilemma. Offering a
unique perspective on how humanitarian organisations should
navigate the Humanitarian Exit Dilemma, this book will be of
interest to scholars and practitioners in the field of Humanitarian
Studies, African Studies, Refugee Studies, political philosophy,
humanitarian action and human rights.
