Over recent years, the humanitarian community has been under increasing scrutiny and attracted harsh criticism. This mounting critique of humanitarianism has shifted from being concerned primarily with the poor functioning of the humanitarian system to one targeted on basic humanitarian values. This paper is concerned to understand the factors driving the attack on humanitarian values. It identifies four apparently disparate groups who are interested in attacking these values: the anti-imperialists, the realpolitikers, the developmentalists and the neo-peaceniks. It concludes that unless humanitarian actors are aware of these diverse threats to their values and operations, they risk being co-opted or marginalised.
近年来，人道主义界受到越来越多的审视并招致严厉批评。这种对人道主义的批评日益加剧，已从主要关注人道主义系统的运作不力，转向针对基本人道主义价值观。本文旨在理解攻击人道主义价值观的驱动因素。它识别出四个看似不同但却有意攻击这些价值观的群体：反帝国主义者、现实政治者、发展主义者和新和平主义者。文章得出结论，除非人道主义行动者意识到其价值观和行动面临的这些多样威胁，否则他们有可能被拉拢或边缘化。
