SCHR DOCUMENTS
Impartiality Review
In 2012 and 2013, SCHR members worked together to design and test an approach to define and measure the application of humanitarian principles, with a focus on the principle of impartiality. This principle was chosen as it carries the fundamental objective for humanitarian action that resources and responses are prioritised and allocated according to actual humanitarian needs and as SCHR members want to maintain and demonstrate a common ground for action rooted in this principle.
The findings from this initial work were finalised in January 2014. They are available in English and Spanish.

STANDARDS & POLICIES
The Code of Conduct
Commonly known as the Code of Conduct, this is a set of guiding principles for organisations involved in humanitarian activities. It was written in 1994 and SCHR members were fundamental sponsors of the process. The IFRC, as one of the SCHR members, keeps a public record of all the humanitarian organisations that become signatories of the code with responsibilities notably in terms of managing the list of signatories.
