Switzerland's commitment to humanitarian aid is outlined in the federal law on international development cooperation and humanitarian aid, issued on March 19, 1976: “The aim of humanitarian aid is to preserve the lives of human beings who are in danger and to alleviate suffering through preventive and Emergency Relief measures; such aid is intended for victims of natural disasters and armed conflicts.” On the one hand it provides direct help through the immediate deployment of expert teams from the Swiss Humanitarian Aid Unit (SHA) following natural disasters and in armed conflicts. On the other, it supports humanitarian partner organizations and contributes to the prevention and solution of conflicts. The four strategic fields of activity in which humanitarian aid is active are1: 1. Prevention and preparedness, 2. Emergency Relief, 3. Reconstruction/rehabilitation, 4. Protection and advocacy. All humanitarian aid actions and programs take into account environmental aspects, gender-related social questions, human rights and government leadership. They include medium- and long-term considerations and work is coordinated with other measures such as development cooperation. The Swiss HA, which is active worldwide, work in a rapid manner and is targeted, innovative, participative, coordinated, focused and effective. These are all elements of its mode of operation. It is working primarily on assisting people before, during and after the following crisis or disaster situations: natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods and 1 Source: leaflet “The Humanitarian Aid of the Swiss Confederation, SDC”. 2 droughts, crises such as the collapse of law and order and lack of social-security nets - Fragile States, conflicts such as wars, civil wars and other similar confrontations, technological disasters, terrorist attacks. 2 Approximately one-fifth of the total SDC budget is earmarked for the HA of the Swiss Confederation. About one-third of HA‟s budget is spent on financing its direct bilateral operations and for programmes conducted by NGOs. The remaining two-thirds is used for funding international organisations such as the UN and the ICRC.

Various observers are debating what the Administration wants to accomplish via the U.S. funding cuts, and how compatible its actions are with U.S. interests. Some Members of Congress have objected to the cuts, including on the grounds that they could negatively affect a number of humanitarian outcomes, especially in Hamas-controlled Gaza. Some current and former Israeli security officials have reportedly voiced concerns about the effects of drastic U.S. cuts on regional stability. Until this year, the U.S. government had consistently supported economic assistance to the Palestinians and humanitarian contributions to the U.N.

The Protection of Internally Displaced Persons in the Sudan: Applying international law at the field level Kirsten Zaat While refugee numbers continue to decrease around the world, the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) continues to steadily rise.1 The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN OCHA) estimates the number of IDPs in the Sudan at around 6 million, the largest IDP population in the world. According to the United Nations, “[i]nternally displaced persons [IDPs] are entitled to enjoy, in full equality, the same rights and freedoms under domestic and international law as do the rest of [a] country's citizens.”2 In the Sudan however, IDPs are regularly denied their basic human rights and “[a]lthough the displaced are frequently forced to flee their homes for the same reasons as do refugees, the fact that they remain within national territory means that they cannot seek to qualify as bona fide “refugees” entitled to the special protective regime accorded to refugees under international law.
