We feel that humanitarian groups follow a tridimensional ethical analysis. They strive for altruistic intentions, means, and ends. For instance, we believe that these agencies would not supply food to threatening rebel groups without putting some sort of limitation on these groups' ability to harm others. We are sure that, while everyone has a right to proper sustenance, humanitarian agencies would not "fuel" those who risk the lives of others. Thus, they probably strive to provide these people with the basic rights they deserve while still protecting the rights of others. This requires consideration of both the means and the consequences of an action, something that rules-based ethics does not do alone.

These kinds of organizations are the ones that are helping the people affected by AIDS and it is important to know that they do not focus on the race, religion or political affiliation of the people who need help.

Something that those who work for NGOs understand very quickly is that much too often states around the world are not very eager or willing to allow NGOs to perform their duties. It is extremely frustrating, but one can also understand why states tend to exert their power in these types of situations. Very good post.
