Statement on Humanitarian Principles

As a humanitarian organisation, The MENTOR Initiative (‘MENTOR’) fully subscribes and is oriented by the core humanitarian principles of neutrality, independence, humanity and impartiality.

MENTOR takes a neutral stance in conflict scenarios providing disease control interventions to anyone affected by the conflict regardless of their position in the conflict. MENTOR is also independent from any religious, political, military views an actor may have in a particular conflict regarding the needs of the affected population, not taking any part in local politics when designing our programs.

MENTOR also subscribes to the humanity principle by putting at the core of its activity implementation the respect for human beings, considering their suffering and the needs they may be facing. MENTOR takes an impartial approach in the countries we operate, not taking a side in a conflict situation nor benefiting a particular group of population instead of other, considering only the needs of the affected populations.
