This third volume in the pioneering series, International
Humanitarian Affairs, goes beyond the practical to address
fundamental questions at the heart of humanitarian actions. How do
different religious, cultural, and social systemsaand the values
they supportashape humanitarian action? What are the bases of
caring societies? Are there universal values for human well-being?
International experts come face to face with the assumptions about
human dignity and social justice that guide efforts to rescue and
repair communities in crisis. The original essays explore mandates
for humanitarian action in religious traditions, and codes of
conduct for the media, military, medicine, and the academy in
relief efforts. They explore threats to human welfare from
terrorism and gender exploitation and assess international law, the
media, and the politics of civil society in a world of war,
conflict, and strife. The contributors: Kofi Annan, Avery Cardinal
Dulles, S.J., Rabbi Harlan J. Wechsler, H.R.H. Prince El Hassan Bin
Talal, Francis Mading Deng, Maj. Gen. Timothy Cross, Joseph Oa
