General Principle : SOLIDARITES' vocation is to provide humanitarian aid and to intervene through acts of solidarity, to assist populations under threat by war or by political, ethnic, economic or any other kind of oppression.

SOLIDARITES is unbiased and does not support any political, economic, ethnic or religious groups.

Humanitarian aid is provided without discrimination and is always adapted to the specific situation of the population being assisted.

SOLIDARITES only intervenes when asked to do so by the population under threat or by their legitimate representative. This intervention may take the shape of emergency relief actions or longer-term programs.

SOLIDARITES' actions are carried out in full respect of the cultural identity and dignity of each individual.

Members of SOLIDARITES are responsible for the day-to-day implementation of the projects adopted by the Organisation.

In accordance with its principles of action and in order to achieve greater efficiency, SOLIDARITES collects information from other concerned organisations and institutions, so as to coordinate and possibly cooperate with them.

As a witness of the difficult situations in which it gets involved, SOLIDARITES attempts to inform and, if necessary, alert public opinion.

Every member of SOLIDARITES adopts and promises to respect the principles defined in this charter.
