Humanitarian forensic action (HFA) is practiced in many parts of the world. In recent years, with the development of forensic humanitarian methods and applications and the increasing inclusion or even prioritization of HFA by organizations and institutions, research in this field has evidenced greater depth and diversity, although perspectives from the humanities and some disciplines remain limited. In-depth inquiries into this topic and an analysis of regional humanitarian data reveal the existence of ideological and cultural foundations for HFA in East Asia. At the same time, given past occurrences of natural disasters and large-scale wars in this region, the need and motivation for advancing this field and developing HFA is considerable. Currently, because of a lack of practical experience of HFA in East Asia, research on this relevant topic in the region focuses on the development of humanitarian forensic applications. Consequently, studies reporting on social surveys, psychological care and other methods are limited. It is to be hoped that East Asian countries will improve their practical HFA applications, while simultaneously carrying out social surveys and social scientific research on all aspects of HFA.
The current development of humanitarian forensic action is described in the field of different scientific disciplines and humanitarian applications in East Asia.The base of humanism of humanitarian forensic action in East Asia, and the necessity and feasibility of developing humanitarian forensic action are summarized.Lmitations of improving humanitarian forensic action in East Asia and ways to improve are presented.
人道主义法医行动（HFA）在世界许多地区都有开展。近年来，随着法医人道主义方法和应用的发展，以及各组织和机构对HFA的纳入甚至优先考虑的情况日益增多，该领域的研究已展现出更大的深度和多样性，尽管来自人文学科和一些学科的观点仍然有限。对这一主题的深入探究以及对区域人道主义数据的分析揭示了东亚地区HFA存在思想文化基础。与此同时，鉴于该地区过去发生的自然灾害和大规模战争，推进这一领域并发展HFA的需求和动机相当大。目前，由于东亚地区缺乏HFA的实践经验，该地区对这一相关主题的研究主要集中在人道主义法医应用的开发上。因此，关于社会调查、心理护理等方法的研究报告有限。希望东亚国家在改进其实践HFA应用的同时，对HFA的各个方面开展社会调查和社会科学研究。
