IN last years There is a consolidation of efforts by the international community in the field of humanitarian activities, which are beginning to acquire a global character. At the same time, the initiative for assistance comes both from individual states and from authoritative international organizations.

Increasing international cooperation in the field of humanitarian response leads to the cooperation of individual countries, international and intergovernmental organizations within the framework of specific programs and projects of humanitarian activities, the integration of their resources and capabilities on a regional basis. In this case, the relevant state and international structures and their financial capabilities are involved.

At the same time, international organizations increasingly began to mobilize resources national structures various states to carry out specific emergency humanitarian response operations.

Against this background, there is a strengthening of the positions of non-governmental organizations operating under the auspices of the European Union, the UN and other international and intergovernmental institutions.
Russia has been taking an active part in international cooperation in the field of humanitarian response in recent years, primarily through the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations. During this time, humanitarian assistance was provided to dozens of countries on various continents. Thousands of people were rescued by Russian rescuers and supplies were delivered to the affected countries. material resources, food and medicine worth billions of rubles.

International cooperation, promoting the unification of the efforts of the world community and states in the fight against disasters, as well as stimulating a certain integration of national efforts in this area, including economic ones, within the competence of international organizations, projects, programs, initiatives, has become an important component of the common work of humanity for the sake of the survival of civilization.

Within the framework of the UN, which unites all the sovereign states of the world, the previously existing regulatory legal framework, based on generally accepted principles, was developed and supplemented with new documents international law. This base formed the legal basis for the international legal protection of each person individually and human civilization as a whole. These fundamental documents may include:
- Universal Declaration of Human Rights, human rights covenants;
- Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe;
- conventions prohibiting genocide, apartheid, racial discrimination, torture, cruel and inhuman treatment;
- conventions specifically protecting the rights of women and children;
- conventions of the International Labor Organization regulating all aspects and types labor activity men, women and teenagers;
- Convention for the Protection of War Victims.

All these documents created (along with the regulation of other issues) the legal basis for international activities in the field of disaster response, which are currently carried out primarily on a humanitarian basis, which is why this activity is called humanitarian.
Humanitarian activities in the broad sense of the word are activities dedicated to the human person, aimed at ensuring human rights, freedoms and other interests. Humanitarian disaster response aims to ensure the survival of people and their communities in the face of disasters. In the process of humanitarian activities in the international arena, cooperation is carried out between its subjects and objects, which is called international humanitarian cooperation.

An important component of humanitarian work is humanitarian aid. It is usually found in disaster situations and, often, in peacekeeping operations.

Humanitarian assistance- this is assistance provided on a voluntary basis to the population in emergency situations of various types, without seeking any financial or political gain in order to alleviate the hardships and deprivations of the victims. An important feature of humanitarian assistance is that it is provided free of charge to victims and the charitable nature of this form of assistance.

Humanitarian assistance has the following main goals:
- ensure rescue and survival the largest number people affected by a natural disaster, man-made disaster or armed conflict, to preserve their health, as far as possible, in an emergency situation;
- restore the economic independence of all population groups and the functioning of life support services in as soon as possible, paying special attention to those most in need;
- repair and restore damaged infrastructure and revive economic activity.

Domestic and international humanitarian assistance is based on three fundamental principles - humanity, impartiality, neutrality.

The procedure for organizing domestic and international humanitarian assistance may differ significantly. Her organizational forms also significantly depend on the nature of the emergency situation, its scale, the specific needs of the population, the geographical conditions of the emergency zone, the relationship between the subjects and objects of assistance and many other factors. However, it is possible to outline a number of areas of work that are typical for most cases of humanitarian assistance.

Humanitarian assistance, as a rule, includes, firstly, the free supply of victims with various material resources, food, medicine, and, secondly, providing them with some necessary services.

International humanitarian aid broadly includes, and is sometimes used synonymously with, international disaster relief. Therefore, international disaster relief is also a critical component of international disaster management efforts.

Providing emergency international disaster assistance consists of providing the affected country, the countries of the affected region or the directly affected population with basic necessities (temporary shelter, water, food, medicine, property), personnel to provide assistance and services (emergency rescue, medical, utility, transport, information, etc.). Let us emphasize once again that in most cases, humanitarian assistance and emergency disaster relief are difficult to separate in meaning and content and most often simply use different terms to describe the same activity.

In the international practice of conducting humanitarian operations, six main areas of action are identified, the degree of importance and priority of which varies in hierarchy and scale. But in general, these directions can be considered basic:
- search and rescue;
- providing asylum;
- provision of food;
- supply of drinking water;
- medical and social security;
- protection from violence and intimidation.

These areas of action are determined by the real needs of people affected by emergency situations.

All actions to provide humanitarian assistance are based on the relationship between its two parties - subjects and objects.

The subjects of humanitarian assistance are organizations of the UN system, other international humanitarian organizations, and donor countries. The latter are the decisive link in the humanitarian aid system, since it is their material and financial resources that serve as its source. As examples of UN donor countries, most developed and some other states, such as Australia, Great Britain, European Union, Canada, the Netherlands, Norway, USA, Finland, Japan, etc.

The right to receive or offer humanitarian assistance is a fundamental humanitarian right that should belong to all people. Therefore, the need to gain unhindered access to disaster victims is essential to the success of humanitarian assistance.
At the same time, the role of objects of humanitarian aid is mainly taken by citizens of states in distress as a result of natural and man-made emergencies, armed conflicts, and emergency socio-economic circumstances. In addition, assistance can be provided to local governments and organizations providing life support to the population in emergency zones. If necessary, humanitarian assistance is provided at all stages of the emergency response.

In a sudden emergency situation, humanitarian assistance primarily pursues the goals of material and emergency medical care in the name of saving and preserving human lives. It also allows victims to meet their basic needs for health care, shelter, clothing, water and food, including cooking facilities.
In the event of a civil or international conflict, the purpose of humanitarian assistance is not only to provide, but also to protect the civilian population, which is most often carried out under the auspices of the relevant UN structures and in cooperation with the International Committee of the Red Cross in accordance with international agreements. In all these cases, the formation, delivery, distribution and delivery of humanitarian aid to those in need is carried out, as already indicated, through humanitarian operations.

The organization of international disaster response activities is carried out by the UN, international humanitarian organizations, and individual states, as a rule, on a bilateral and multilateral basis.

To conduct humanitarian activities, including disaster response, special bodies, organizations, programs, committees and commissions have been created within the UN. New intergovernmental and non-governmental international humanitarian organizations continue their important activities or emerge.

A special place in the fight against disasters is currently occupied by:
- United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA);
- Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR);
- United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO);
- UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO);
- World Food Program (WFP);
- United Nations Development Program (UNDP);
- United Nations Environment Program (UNEP);
- United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF);
- World organization health (WHO);
- World Meteorological Organization (WMO);
- International Committee of the Red Cross;
- International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies;
- International Civil Defense Organization (ICDO) and some others.

IN Lately The North Atlantic Alliance (NATO) has stepped up its role in addressing humanitarian issues, especially through its Civil Emergency Planning Department (CEP).
International disaster response activities, as we see, are based mainly on the efforts of the UN and its bodies. UN General Assembly Resolution 46/182 established the principles of providing humanitarian assistance and recommended measures to ensure response to large-scale emergencies. At the same time, the leadership and coordination of efforts of the international community to provide disaster relief to affected countries is named one of important tasks UN.

A financial mechanism has been created for the response of UN system organizations, which is based on an Emergency Fund with a constantly renewed capital of 50 million US dollars.

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs plays a direct coordinating role in disasters. The department links UN activities with the efforts of other participants in international humanitarian activities, collects contributions for assistance, organizes interaction between affected countries and donor countries, and stimulates the study, forecasting, and prevention of disasters.

International refugee protection is carried out under the leadership of the well-known Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. The Department is engaged in solving the problems of refugees by assisting states, international and private organizations in the settlement and livelihoods of refugees, their voluntary repatriation or assimilation into new national communities. UNHCR takes part in providing assistance in emergency situations, often leading humanitarian operations.

The coordination of the activities of UN agencies, including on the issue under consideration, is usually carried out by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee. Certain structures, resources, and mechanisms for the international community to respond to large-scale emergencies under the auspices of the UN have also been created.

The coordinated functioning of this system allows the UN, with the participation of states and international organizations, to solve, within the existing political and economic capabilities, the enormously complex task of countering disasters at the international level.

In the event of a difficult situation and the scale of the disaster does not correspond to the available financial capabilities of the affected state, the UN DHA provides financial assistance to the government of that country. The purpose of this financial assistance, allocated by donor countries of the international community, is to cover the costs of meeting the most essential needs of the affected population, which cannot be financed from national resources. UN OCHA can provide up to $50,000 via transfer through the UN Development Program office in the affected country. This financial assistance can only be provided if the national government makes a request for international assistance immediately after the emergency occurs and this request is received by the appropriate UNDP office within the first week after the emergency occurs.

UN OCHA constantly maintains and renews stocks of emergency relief supplies received from donor countries in its warehouses located on various continents. One of these warehouses, for example, is located in Pisa (Italy). Basically, these warehouses store the necessary items for the survival of the affected population (tents, blankets, clothes, shoes, etc.), which UNOCHA can deliver by air to the area of ​​the emergency situation free of charge.
The international humanitarian response system that has been created and is currently functioning provides for the provision of humanitarian assistance not only under the leadership of UN OCHA, but also directly by countries that have expressed a desire to provide such assistance.
Today, in many states, primarily donor countries, special government organizations have been created that, with the coordinating role of UN OCHA, or independently solve the problems of humanitarian response.

An example of such a government organization for providing humanitarian assistance to foreign countries in emergency situations is the activities of the US Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA), which, according to the country's Foreign Assistance Act (1961), operates under Agency for international development. The OFDA Director is the special coordinator for the President of the United States for all federal government efforts to provide humanitarian assistance in the event of natural disasters and catastrophes abroad.
The Bureau implements programs to assist other states in preventing and eliminating the consequences of natural and man-made disasters. It uses funds from other U.S. federal agencies, organizations, private foundations, and individuals, provides assistance with machinery and equipment, trains faculty for training systems in other countries, provides improved disaster management technology, provides material assistance, and sends trained personnel to respond to disasters. disasters.

The issue of providing assistance is considered in the United States after receiving a request from a country in need of it. The volume of necessary assistance is confirmed by the US Ambassador to that country, or by a special emissary sent by the OFDA directly to the disaster area.
Assistance to foreign countries is provided by decision of the US Congress. The President of the United States requests money from Congress. It sometimes takes more than a year to resolve this issue. At the same time, the US Congress puts forward a number of demands of both a political and economic nature. For example, such requirements may include the conditions to provide assistance only with American goods, to use only the American fleet to transport assistance, etc. However, the President of the United States, if there is a need to provide urgent assistance, can make decisions independently (which happens more often in practice) with subsequent submission of a report to the US Congress.

The annual budget of the OFDA is approved by the US Congress within the range of about 50 million dollars. If necessary, up to $50 million more can be allocated through other programs.
To monitor the correct use of the assistance provided, the OFDA sends an emissary to the country receiving assistance. All OFDA assistance work abroad is carried out on a contract basis. Contracts for the allocation of the necessary forces and means to provide assistance are concluded with the relevant US services.

The Russian Federation highly appreciates the results achieved by the world community in difficult and difficult path formation international system measures aimed at countering disasters, and a system of international organizations designed, together with national forces, to carry out these tasks. Particularly noteworthy is the effectiveness of the existing economic mechanisms for solving complex problems of financing humanitarian projects, and the skillful search for financial and material resources for this.

The Russian Federation takes an active part in international humanitarian activities. From the point of view of its foreign policy objectives, it views it as international and serving the goals of stability and security in the world. Russia's participation in international humanitarian cooperation has today been elevated to the rank of state policy.

Integration of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations into the activities of similar structures of the world community is an objectively natural and necessary process. It allows you to find effective ways solving the problems of protecting the population and territories from emergency situations, mastering international experience in preventing and eliminating emergency situations, minimizing the scale of the consequences of major accidents, catastrophes and natural disasters, where the paramount factor is the timeliness and professionalism of the actions of the forces involved, including foreign ones, the effectiveness of search and use of financial and material resources..

Its activities in providing international humanitarian assistance to the population of the Russian Federation affected by emergency situations and foreign countries The Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia carries out jointly with interested federal executive authorities on the basis of decisions of the Government of the Russian Federation with the coordinating role of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia.

Expenses for economic and humanitarian assistance to foreign countries affected by natural and man-made disasters and military conflicts are provided for in the annual budget of the Russian Federation and amount to about 80 million rubles and 2-2.5 million US dollars. In addition, funds from the reserve fund of the Government of the Russian Federation are used for humanitarian operations and liquidation of consequences of emergency situations. In each specific case of providing humanitarian assistance to the affected country, it is adopted by the relevant resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation.

The normative legal foundations of the international humanitarian activities of the Russian Federation and, in particular, the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations are the relevant international legal acts and legislation of our country.

The Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia in the international arena functions in strict accordance with the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the previously mentioned federal laws in the field of natural and man-made safety, as well as other regulatory legal documents affecting these problems. It should be especially emphasized that these activities are built taking into account the provisions and on the basis of strict compliance with the requirements of the Geneva Conventions for the Protection of Victims of War of 1949 and their Additional Protocols. In addition, it is regulated by decrees of the President of the Russian Federation, resolutions of the Government of the Russian Federation and other acts.

To mobilize the capabilities of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations to carry out humanitarian tasks according to UN standards, the Russian National Emergency Humanitarian Response Corps was created (Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 13, 1995). The body includes:
- agency "EMERKOM";
- central airmobile rescue squad, including a mobile hospital;
- automobile and engineering civil defense brigades;
- aviation enterprise.

This structure has ensured a qualitatively new state of the humanitarian forces of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations - readiness to act on requests from the UN and other humanitarian structures in any area of ​​the world with high efficiency.

Russian regulatory legal regulation Russia’s participation in international humanitarian activities is complemented by the corresponding legal framework on issues international cooperation with other states, unions of states, international organizations. At the same time, areas of cooperation are being specified, including in the field of humanitarian response, the exchange of scientific and technical information and experience in emergency response.
A current area of ​​contractual and legal work is interdepartmental and interinstitutional agreements. In this case, it is possible to consolidate the achieved results on specific projects and programs and form broader partnerships on a mutually beneficial basis. An example of this are memorandums and agreements with UNHCR (1993), NATO (1996), humanitarian structures of Norway (1995), World Food Program (2001), Organization of African Unity (1997) and other acts.

Thus, the international humanitarian activities of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia and the Russian Federation are based on a solid foundation of domestic legislation, international humanitarian law and contractual relations with foreign countries.

These legal norms apply to bilateral and multilateral relations. In this case, international normative legal documents have priority. If international treaties of the Russian Federation establish rules other than those contained in the country’s legislation in the field of protecting the population and territories from emergency situations, then the rules of international treaties apply.

The regulatory legal framework ensures the practical international activities of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations in the field of counteracting disasters and solving humanitarian problems, which is important both for the world community and for Russia itself. In this area of ​​its activity, the Ministry, having summarized national and international experience, created a recognized and authoritative assistance service, which fit into the global system of emergency humanitarian response to disasters and crises of various types on an equal basis with leading countries.

The practice of international activities of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations includes cooperation with foreign countries, interstate and non-governmental organizations in the field of protecting the population and territories from emergency situations. Wherein:
- takes part in large-scale and relevant humanitarian actions of the UN and the international community, providing assistance to affected countries in carrying out emergency rescue operations, and supplying humanitarian supplies;
- support for Russia’s interests is ensured when solving major foreign policy problems;
- assistance is provided to Russian citizens in emergency situations abroad;
- assistance and rescue technologies are jointly developed, and professional training of specialists is carried out.

A priority in Russia's international cooperation in the field of protecting the population and territories from emergency situations of various types is interaction and cooperation on this issue with the CIS member states.

The priority of these relations is determined by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of September 14, 1995 “On approval of the strategic course for the development of relations of the Russian Federation with the CIS member states.” The decree emphasizes that the development of the Commonwealth meets the vital interests of the Russian Federation, and relations with its member states are an important factor in Russia’s inclusion in global political and economic structures.

Based on this decree, a number of intergovernmental, interdepartmental, bilateral and multilateral agreements with neighboring countries in the field of protecting populations and territories from emergency situations were prepared, signed and entered into force. Their preparation was carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Law on International Treaties of the Russian Federation, the Concept of International Cooperation of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia in interaction with interested federal executive authorities. In total, 16 agreements have been concluded and are in force with the CIS member states, including 10 bilateral and 6 multilateral.

As is clear from the outlined procedure for providing international emergency assistance in disasters, the main efforts to provide it fall on the UN system and donor countries like the United States. However, this is not enough to successfully counteract disasters.

The bulk of disaster response efforts are, in most cases, carried out at the national level. Affected countries invest huge amounts of their national financial and material resources in the fight against the disasters that have befallen them, which in most cases are not comparable with the amount of international assistance.

This completely natural ratio of the contribution of the affected states and the world community to the fight against specific disasters will obviously continue in the future. Only a few small developing countries are forced to rely primarily on assistance from the world community in the event of disasters.
Developing countries, adopting the experience of developed countries and the UN, are improving their national disaster response systems and economic assistance mechanisms in order to cope with them more effectively in the future. However, with the growth of the organizational, technological and economic capabilities of states to counter disasters, the need for international humanitarian activities in this area, including international emergency disaster relief, continues to persist.
