PART 1: THE GLOBAL PROBLEM: HUMANITARIAN CRISIS

What is a humanitarian crisis? Types of Humanitarian Crisis and examples:

b. Nuclear Disaster A catastrophic incident involving the release of dangerous radiation from nuclear facilities. There is an urgent need to respond because once radiation spreads through the air, water, and land, it will infect plants, animals, and people. This will very quickly make their skin burn and body sick, with a very large possibility of death

The civil wars currently ongoing in Syria and Yemen are some of the largest modern-day humanitarian emergencies, with more than 11 million children in need of medical assistance.

Humanitarian Principles It is important to help people based on their needs, regardless of their nationality, ethnicity, or political affiliation. Humanitarian organizations aim to provide aid without taking sides in conflicts or political disputes.

Saving Live and Ending Suffering This is the primary reason for humanitarian aid. Natural disasters, conflicts, and other emergencies cause immense harm to people's lives, homes, and well-being. Humanitarian aid gives immediate relief to those affected.

PART 2: THE GLOBAL SOLUTION: HUMANITARIAN AID

The “Rights” Way to Establish Principles When trying to prove something is justified, try to compare that idea with rights that are universally accepted to see if they have any similarities.

Examples of some universally accepted rights: Right to self-defense This allows humans to defend themselves using force when faced with danger because, in certain situations, the police may not be there to protect them. This allows people to protect themselves in unpredictable and urgent situations.

MODULE BY

HEARTS IN ACTION | A GLOBAL RESPONSE TO A HUMANITARIAN CRISIS

Right to education, food, and shelter These are some of the basic human rights that guarantee that everyone has the necessities for a dignified life. The right to education ensures access to knowledge and learning, the right to food ensures no one goes hungry, and the right to shelter ensures everyone has a safe and decent place to live.

The “Rights” Way to Establish Principles Example for this skill: Q) Should people be allowed to keep their social media profiles private (right to privacy)? Answer: Humans should always feel that they will be protected by the law and the police

MODULE BY

HEARTS IN ACTION | A GLOBAL RESPONSE TO A HUMANITARIAN CRISIS

1. Do you agree with the statement? (Yes/No) Yes! Individuals should be allowed to control who sees what they do on social media.

2. Reason for agreement/disagreement. If any sensitive information gets out, it might put them in danger.

3. Real-World Application: Offer real-life examples or scenarios that showcase how following the principle leads to positive outcomes. Use stories or cases that illustrate the principle's effectiveness. For example, if a thief sees someone’s post that they are on vacation, they could go in and rob the house.

4. Which rights are being upheld/violated as a result of this? Putting humans in danger robs them of the right to security. 5. Conclusion Hence individuals should have the right to privacy as it is connected to the right to security.

Corruption Aid organizations depend on government organizations for logistical support while distributing aid. In countries with corrupt government officials, this logistical support is not offered for free. Bribes must be paid to these corrupt officials to get them to cooperate. Other times, government officials steal some of the donated money.
