The major humanitarian crises of recent years are well known: the
Shoah, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Rwandan genocide, the
massacre in Bosnia, and the tsunami in Southeast Asia, as well as
the bloody conflicts in South Sudan, Syria, and Afghanistan.
Millions have been killed and many millions more have been driven
from their homes; the number of refugees and internally displaced
persons has reached record levels. Could these crises have been
prevented? Why do they continue to happen? This book seeks to
understand how humanity itself is in crisis, and what we can do
about it. Hollenbach draws on the values that have shaped major
humanitarian initiatives over the past century and a half, such as
the commitments of the International Committee of the Red Cross,
Oxfam, Doctors Without Borders, as well as the values of diverse
religious traditions, including Catholicism, to examine the scope
of our responsibilities and practical solutions to these global
crises. He also explores the economic and political causes of these
tragedies, and uncovers key moral issues for both policy-makers and
for practitioners working in humanitarian agencies and faith
communities.
