Core Principles and Sectoral Interventions in Humanitarian Approaches to Refugees

Introduction

This study has been prepared within a descriptive framework covering the core concepts and policy documents that constitute important milestones in determining the comprehensive humanitarian aid activities organised in response to mass migration movements. These policies have essentially been developed for the institutions operating in the humanitarian sector and for the humanitarian workers employed in these institutions in a professional and/or voluntary capacity. Questions concerning how humanitarian aid is delivered are matters on which many international institutions and organisations need to work together. In this context, the framework of this study is formed by the main policy documents prepared jointly by various public institutions and civil society organisations.
