Throughout this manual the relationship between NGOs and US - TopicsExpress



          

Throughout this manual the relationship between NGOs and US counterinsurgency operations is described as a relation based on unity of purpose and NGOs are even referred to as unified action partners. The purpose of a counterinsurgency is to obtain a military defeat of an enemy. The purpose of a humanitarian agency is to provide life-saving assistance to anyone, regardless of political or military affiliations, affected by conflict (or natural disaster). There is no unity of purpose in these two objectives, and portraying them as such demonstrates an ill-informed and distorted approach to the notion of humanitarian action”
