HUMANITARIANISM- ORIGIN
• Humanitarianism usually contains two common elements:
1. A reference to “humans” or “humanity,” and a relational element.
2. Often associated with Christian traditions of altruism and charity
• This emphasis may obscure its place as a “common heritage of humankind (Isaac, 1993: 14).”
Minn, P. (2007, August 6). Toward an Anthropology of Humanitarianism.

UNIVERSAL
DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHT
• Article 1.- All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are
endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of
brotherhood.
• Article 2.- Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration,
without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or
other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no
distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international
status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent,
trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.
• Article 3.- Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.

prohibited in all their forms.
• Article 5.- No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment

CONVENTION ON THE RIGHTS
OF THE CHILD
• Article 1 (Definition of the child): The Convention defines a 'child' as a person below the age of 18, unless the laws of a particular country set
the legal age for adulthood younger. The Committee on the Rights of the Child, the monitoring body for the Convention, has encouraged States
to review the age of majority if it is set below 18 and to increase the level of protection for all children under 18.
• Article 2 (Non-discrimination): The Convention applies to all children, whatever their race, religion or abilities; whatever they think or say,
whatever type of family they come from. It doesn’t matter where children live, what language they speak, what their parents do, whether
they are boys or girls, what their culture is, whether they have a disability or whether they are rich or poor. No child should be treated
unfairly on any basis.
• Article 4 (Protection of rights): Governments have a responsibility to take all available measures to make sure children’s rights are respected,
protected and fulfilled. When countries ratify the Convention, they agree to review their laws relating to children. This involves assessing their
social services, legal, health and educational systems, as well as levels of funding for these services. Governments are then obliged to take
all necessary steps to ensure that the minimum standards set by the Convention in these areas are being met. They must help families protect
children’s rights and create an environment where they can grow and reach their potential. In some instances, this may involve changing
existing laws or creating new ones. Such legislative changes are not imposed, but come about through the same process by which any law is
created or reformed within a country. Article 41 of the Convention points out the when a country already has higher legal standards than those
seen in the Convention, the higher standards always prevail.
• Article 6 (Survival and development): Children have the right to live. Governments should ensure that children survive and develop healthily.
• Article 18 (Parental responsibilities; state assistance): Both parents share responsibility for bringing up their children, and should always
consider what is best for each child. Governments must respect the responsibility of parents for providing appropriate guidance to their children
– the Convention does not take responsibility for children away from their parents and give more authority to governments. It places a
responsibility on governments to provide support services to parents, especially if both parents work outside the home.
• Article 23 (Children with disabilities): Children who have any kind of disability have the right to special care and support, as well as all the
rights in the Convention, so that they can live full and independent lives.
• Article 24 (Health and health services): Children have the right to good quality health care – the best health care possible – to safe drinking
water, nutritious food, a clean and safe environment, and information to help them stay healthy. Rich countries should help poorer countries
achieve this.
• Article 25 (Review of treatment in care): Children who are looked after by their local authorities, rather than their parents, have the right to
have these living arrangements looked at regularly to see if they are the most appropriate. Their care and treatment should always be based on
“the best interests of the child”. (see Guiding Principles, Article 3)
• Article 26 (Social security): Children – either through their guardians or directly – have the right to help from the government if they are poor
or in need.
• Article 27 (Adequate standard of living): Children have the right to a standard of living that is good enough to meet their physical and mental
needs. Governments should help families and guardians who cannot afford to provide this, particularly with regard to food, clothing and
housing.
• Article 28: (Right to education): All children have the right to a primary education, which should be free. Wealthy countries should help
poorer countries achieve this right. Discipline in schools should respect children’s dignity. For children to benefit from education, schools must
be run in an orderly way – without the use of violence. Any form of school discipline should take into account the child's human dignity.
Therefore, governments must ensure that school administrators review their discipline policies and eliminate any discipline practices involving
physical or mental violence, abuse or neglect. The Convention places a high value on education. Young people should be encouraged to reach
the highest level of education of which they are capable.
• Article 29 (Goals of education): Children’s education should develop each child’s personality, talents and abilities to the fullest. It should
encourage children to respect others, human rights and their own and other cultures. It should also help them learn to live peacefully,
protect the environment and respect other people. Children have a particular responsibility to respect the rights their parents, and education
should aim to develop respect for the values and culture of their parents.
`
HUMANITARIAN ACTIVITIES
• “Zones of peace” and humanitarian aids to the men, women and children who are trapped in

FULFILMENT CRITERIA-
PRINCIPLE OF HUMANITARIANISM
• The four principle of Humanitarianism :
• Humanity – saving human lives and alleviating suffering wherever it is found
• Impartiality – acting solely on the basis of need, without discrimination between or within
affected populations
• Neutrality – acting without favouring any side in an armed conflict or other dispute where such
action is carried out
• Independence – the autonomy of humanitarian objectives from the political, economic, military
or other objectives that any actor may hold with regard to areas where humanitarian action is
being implemented.
Mackintosh Kate. (March 2005). The Principles of Humanitarian Action in International
Humanitarian Law
WHAT IS AND WHAT’S NOT
HUMANITARIANISM
• What’s not Humanitarianism
• Helping the war victim on the basis of nationality, race or religion.
• Using the reason of humanitarianism to intervene in the policy of other country – colonization.
• Exchange of money, employment, goods, or services for sex, including sexual favours or other
forms of humiliating, degrading or exploitative behaviour”
• What is Humanitarianism
• Save lives, alleviate suffering and maintain and protect human right
• Fulfil the four principle of humanitarianism
VOLUNTEERISM AND HUMANITARIANISM-
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE ?
• The main difference :
• Volunteer is more of a charity and humanitarianism is not. Humanitarianism is carried out to
protect the human right of a person in need.
• However, they have more in common :
• Humanitarian aids and activities needs volunteers, lots of volunteers.
• Volunteer and humanitarian are both contributing to the society and make the world a better
place.
THANK YOU

  • 13. HUMANITARIANISM- ORIGIN • Humanitarianism usually contains two common elements: 1. A reference to “humans” or “humanity,” and a relational element. 2.

  • 15. UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHT • Article 1.- All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood. • Article 2.- Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty. • Article 3.- Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person. • Article 4.- No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms. • Article 5.- No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
  • 16. CONVENTION ON THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD • Article 1 (Definition of the child): The Convention defines a 'child' as a person below the age of 18, unless the laws of a particular country set the legal age for adulthood younger. The Committee on the Rights of the Child, the monitoring body for the Convention, has encouraged States to review the age of majority if it is set below 18 and to increase the level of protection for all children under 18. • Article 2 (Non-discrimination): The Convention applies to all children, whatever their race, religion or abilities; whatever they think or say, whatever type of family they come from. It doesn’t matter where children live, what language they speak, what their parents do, whether they are boys or girls, what their culture is, whether they have a disability or whether they are rich or poor. No child should be treated unfairly on any basis. • Article 4 (Protection of rights): Governments have a responsibility to take all available measures to make sure children’s rights are respected, protected and fulfilled. When countries ratify the Convention, they agree to review their laws relating to children. This involves assessing their social services, legal, health and educational systems, as well as levels of funding for these services. Governments are then obliged to take all necessary steps to ensure that the minimum standards set by the Convention in these areas are being met. They must help families protect children’s rights and create an environment where they can grow and reach their potential. In some instances, this may involve changing existing laws or creating new ones. Such legislative changes are not imposed, but come about through the same process by which any law is created or reformed within a country. Article 41 of the Convention points out the when a country already has higher legal standards than those seen in the Convention, the higher standards always prevail. • Article 6 (Survival and development): Children have the right to live. Governments should ensure that children survive and develop healthily. • Article 18 (Parental responsibilities; state assistance): Both parents share responsibility for bringing up their children, and should always consider what is best for each child. Governments must respect the responsibility of parents for providing appropriate guidance to their children – the Convention does not take responsibility for children away from their parents and give more authority to governments. It places a responsibility on governments to provide support services to parents, especially if both parents work outside the home.
  • 17. • Article 23 (Children with disabilities): Children who have any kind of disability have the right to special care and support, as well as all the rights in the Convention, so that they can live full and independent lives. • Article 24 (Health and health services): Children have the right to good quality health care – the best health care possible – to safe drinking water, nutritious food, a clean and safe environment, and information to help them stay healthy. Rich countries should help poorer countries achieve this. • Article 25 (Review of treatment in care): Children who are looked after by their local authorities, rather than their parents, have the right to have these living arrangements looked at regularly to see if they are the most appropriate. Their care and treatment should always be based on “the best interests of the child”. (see Guiding Principles, Article 3) • Article 26 (Social security): Children – either through their guardians or directly – have the right to help from the government if they are poor or in need. • Article 27 (Adequate standard of living): Children have the right to a standard of living that is good enough to meet their physical and mental needs. Governments should help families and guardians who cannot afford to provide this, particularly with regard to food, clothing and housing. • Article 28: (Right to education): All children have the right to a primary education, which should be free. Wealthy countries should help poorer countries achieve this right. Discipline in schools should respect children’s dignity. For children to benefit from education, schools must be run in an orderly way – without the use of violence. Any form of school discipline should take into account the child's human dignity. Therefore, governments must ensure that school administrators review their discipline policies and eliminate any discipline practices involving physical or mental violence, abuse or neglect. The Convention places a high value on education. Young people should be encouraged to reach the highest level of education of which they are capable. • Article 29 (Goals of education): Children’s education should develop each child’s personality, talents and abilities to the fullest. It should encourage children to respect others, human rights and their own and other cultures. It should also help them learn to live peacefully, protect the environment and respect other people. Children have a particular responsibility to respect the rights their parents, and education should aim to develop respect for the values and culture of their parents. `
  • 18. HUMANITARIAN ACTIVITIES • “Zones of peace” and humanitarian aids to the men, women and children who are trapped in midst of war by international federation Red Cross and Red Crescent Society. • Reconstruction of property and infrastructure after disaster. • Preventing human casualties and ensuring access to the basics for survival: water, sanitation, food, shelter, and health care in the war. • Famine relieve by World Food Programme(WFP)
  • 19. FULFILMENT CRITERIA- PRINCIPLE OF HUMANITARIANISM • The four principle of Humanitarianism : • Humanity – saving human lives and alleviating suffering wherever it is found • Impartiality – acting solely on the basis of need, without discrimination between or within affected populations • Neutrality – acting without favouring any side in an armed conflict or other dispute where such action is carried out • Independence – the autonomy of humanitarian objectives from the political, economic, military or other objectives that any actor may hold with regard to areas where humanitarian action is being implemented. Mackintosh Kate. (March 2005). The Principles of Humanitarian Action in International Humanitarian Law
  • 20. WHAT IS AND WHAT’S NOT HUMANITARIANISM • What’s not Humanitarianism • Helping the war victim on the basis of nationality, race or religion. • Using the reason of humanitarianism to intervene in the policy of other country – colonization. • Exchange of money, employment, goods, or services for sex, including sexual favours or other forms of humiliating, degrading or exploitative behaviour” • What is Humanitarianism • Save lives, alleviate suffering and maintain and protect human right • Fulfil the four principle of humanitarianism
  • 21. VOLUNTEERISM AND HUMANITARIANISM- WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE ? • The main difference : • Volunteer is more of a charity and humanitarianism is not. Humanitarianism is carried out to protect the human right of a person in need. • However, they have more in common : • Humanitarian aids and activities needs volunteers, lots of volunteers. • Volunteer and humanitarian are both contributing to the society and make the world a better place.
