Growing the Sheltering Tree: Protecting Rights Through Humanitarian Action

---

This book explores how humanitarian action can serve as a vital mechanism for protecting and promoting human rights in situations of conflict, displacement, and natural disaster. It examines the evolution of rights-based approaches within humanitarian work, highlighting the responsibilities of aid agencies, governments, and international organizations to safeguard the dignity and safety of affected populations. Through case studies and field experiences, the book illustrates strategies for integrating protection principles into emergency response, including attention to vulnerable groups such as women, children, and internally displaced persons. It also addresses ethical dilemmas, operational constraints, and the need for coordination among humanitarian actors. Overall, the work underscores the importance of embedding human rights standards at the core of humanitarian practice to ensure more effective and accountable assistance.
