Humanitarian aid has been present in some form throughout human history, yet the modern concept of humanitarian aid has only truly emerged since the later half of the 20th century. Through a complex progression of world events and largely brought about in response to armed conflict, modern humanitarian aid is provided by a multitude of organizations and actors. The purpose of this chapter is to provide a brief overview of the history of humanitarian action, a review of the principles of humanitarian aid and an overview of the major documents which delineate those principles.
人道主义援助在人类历史上一直以某种形式存在，但现代人道主义援助的概念直到20世纪后半叶才真正出现。通过一系列复杂的世界事件发展而来，并且主要是为应对武装冲突而产生的，现代人道主义援助由众多组织和行为体提供。本章的目的是简要概述人道主义行动的历史，回顾人道主义援助的原则，并概述阐述这些原则的主要文件。
