Humanitarian aid and the Treaties of the European Union
Description of Humanitarian aid provided by the European Union Commission: The European Union as a whole (the Commission and the Member States) is currently one of the largest donors of humanitarian aid in the world. The humanitarian aid dimension of the European Union's external action has become very important in recent years owing to the increase in the number of crises throughout the world and the Union's willingness to take on a leading role in international humanitarian efforts. Therefore, in 1992, the European Commission's Humanitarian Aid Office (ECHO) was established. ECHO's mandate is to provide emergency assistance and relief (in the form of goods and services) to victims of natural or man-made disasters or conflicts outside the Union. This aid is based on the principles of non-discrimination, impartiality and humanity. It is distributed by ECHO's partners, namely non-governmental organisations, humanitarian agencies of the United Nations and other international organisations. The Constitution, now being ratified, includes a section on humanitarian aid, which thereby acquires a specific legal basis. The issue's importance is further underlined by the planned creation of a European Voluntary Humanitarian Aid Corps, which is aimed at providing a framework for joint contributions by young Europeans in this area.
