Críticas
'A masterfully comprehensive, clearly written and up-to-date survey of what humanitarian care means to the world. Mr. Smyser's personal experience and careful scholarship make the book especially relevant and timely. He fears that governments have been distancing themselves from the humanitarian cause, especially since September 11 and since the war in Iraq. His own commitment to that cause shows throughout the entire work.' - Sadako Ogata, former UN High Commissioner for Refugees
'The Humanitarian Conscience is a timely and important work that deserves to be read widely, including for its specific, wide-reaching recommendations on how to respond to current humanitarian challenges. Mr. Smyser's long personal experience in the humanitarian crises of our day and his profound sense of history provide a welcome perspective which is a major contribution in itself.' - John Whitehead, former Deputy Secretary of State
'This book is an invaluable resource for humanitarian workers. It should also be read by anyone seeking a more comprehensive understanding of humanitarian work. Its author combines scholarship with practical experience. He shows the important if sometimes risky ways in which humanitarians have helped others for more than a century. He also suggests what must now be done to keep the humanitarian conscience alive.' - Mary E. McClymont, President and CEO, InterAction
Reseña del editor
The Humanitarian Conscience examines the history of humanitarian activity and includes up-to-the-minute information on world affairs including the aftermath of the war on Iraq and the bombing of the UN headquarters in Baghdad. Humanitarian action, long dismissed as a realm apart from major foreign policy concerns has become an omnipresent element in international affairs. It now shapes the world in which we live and it will have an increasingly important impact on the way decisions are made in international crises. Smyser traces the growth of humanitarian action since the horrors of World War II were made public, from its early stages connected to the creation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to the present day when human rights groups, such as Human Rights Watch, are as powerful as modern nation states in influencing the course of international events. This is a monumental portrait of the way in which individuals who are not officially part of any government work to alleviate human suffering and physical destruction around the world. It is also a call to arms at a time when humanitarian efforts are frequently missing or simply misguided.
