This code of conduct is not about operational details, such as how one should calculate food rations or set up a refugee camp. Rather, it seeks to maintain the high standards of independence, effectiveness, and impact to which disaster response NGOs and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement aspire. It is a voluntary code.
