Více o knize

Examining the intersection of humanitarian action with religious, cultural, and social systems, this volume delves into the values that underpin caring societies and the concept of universal human well-being. It features essays by international experts who challenge assumptions about human dignity and social justice in crisis situations. Topics include mandates from religious traditions, ethical codes for various sectors involved in relief efforts, and the impacts of terrorism and gender exploitation on human welfare, alongside discussions of international law and civil society dynamics amidst conflict.
