In recent years, there has been a unification of the efforts of the international community in the field of humanitarian activity, which is beginning to acquire a global character. At the same time, the initiative for assistance comes from both individual states and authoritative international organizations.

Expanding international cooperation in the field of humanitarian response leads to cooperation of individual countries, international and intergovernmental organizations within the framework of specific programs and projects of humanitarian activity, integration of their resources and capabilities on a regional basis. At the same time, relevant state and international structures and their financial capabilities are involved.

At the same time, international organizations increasingly began to mobilize the resources of the national structures of various states for the implementation of specific emergency humanitarian response operations.

Against this background, there is a strengthening of the positions of non-governmental organizations operating under the auspices of the European Union, the UN and other international and intergovernmental institutions.
In recent years, Russia has been actively participating in international cooperation in the field of humanitarian response, primarily through the Russian Emergencies Ministry. During this time, humanitarian assistance has been provided to dozens of states on various continents. Thousands of people have been rescued by Russian rescuers, material resources, food and medicine worth billions of rubles have been delivered to the affected countries.

International cooperation, contributing to the unification of the efforts of the world community and states in the fight against disasters, as well as stimulating a certain integration of national efforts in this area, including economic ones, within the competence of international organizations, projects, programs, initiatives, has become an important component of the common work of mankind for the survival of civilization.

Within the framework of the UN, which unites all the sovereign states of the world, the normative legal base that existed before and supplemented by new documents, based on the generally recognized principles of international law, was developed. This base formed the legal basis for the international legal protection of each person individually and of human civilization as a whole. These fundamental documents include:
- Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Covenants on Human Rights;
- The final act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe;
- conventions prohibiting genocide, apartheid, racial discrimination, torture, cruel and inhuman treatment;
- conventions specifically protecting the rights of women and children;
- conventions of the International Labor Organization regulating all aspects and types of labor activity of men, women and adolescents;
- conventions for the protection of victims of war.

All these documents created (along with the regulation of other issues) the legal basis for international disaster response activities, which are currently carried out mainly on a humanitarian basis, which is why this activity is called humanitarian.
Humanitarian activity in the broad sense of the word is an activity dedicated to the human personality, aimed at ensuring the rights, freedoms and other interests of a person. Humanitarian action in the field of disaster response is aimed at the survival of the individual and his communities in the face of disasters. In the process of humanitarian activity in the international arena, cooperation between its subjects and objects is carried out, which is called international humanitarian cooperation.

An important component of humanitarian activity is humanitarian aid. It usually appears in case of disasters and, often, in peacekeeping operations.

humanitarian aid- this is assistance provided on a voluntary basis to the population in emergency situations of a different nature, without striving for any financial or political benefit in order to alleviate the hardships and hardships of the victims. An important feature of humanitarian assistance is the gratuitousness of its provision to the victims, the charitable order of this form of assistance.

Humanitarian assistance has the following main goals:
- to ensure the rescue and survival of the greatest number of people affected by a natural disaster, man-made disaster or armed conflict, to preserve their health, as far as possible, in an emergency;
- restore the economic independence of all groups of the population and the work of life support services in the shortest possible time, paying special attention to those most in need;
- repair and restore damaged infrastructure and revive economic activity.

Domestic and international humanitarian assistance is based on three fundamental principles - humanity, impartiality, neutrality.

The procedure for organizing domestic and international humanitarian assistance may differ significantly. Its organizational forms also significantly depend on the nature of the emergency, its scale, the specific needs of the population, the geographical conditions of the emergency zone, the relationship between the subjects and objects of assistance, and many other factors. However, it is possible to outline a number of areas of work that are typical for most cases of humanitarian assistance.

Humanitarian aid, as a rule, includes, firstly, the gratuitous supply of various material resources, food, medicines to the victims, and, secondly, their provision with some necessary services.

International humanitarian aid broadly includes emergency international disaster relief as an integral part and is sometimes used as a synonym for it. Therefore, the provision of emergency international disaster assistance is also an essential component of international disaster response.

Emergency international disaster relief consists of providing the affected country, the countries of the affected region or the directly affected population with basic necessities (temporary shelter, water, food, medicine, property), relief personnel and services (rescue, medical, utilities, transport, information, etc.). Let us emphasize once again that in most cases, humanitarian aid and emergency disaster relief are difficult to separate in meaning and content and most often simply describe the same activity in different terms.

In the international practice of conducting humanitarian operations, there are six main areas of action, the degree of importance and priority of which varies in hierarchy and scale. But in general, these areas can be considered basic:
- search and rescue;
- granting asylum;
- food supply;
- drinking water supply;
- medical and social security;
- protection from violence and intimidation.

These lines of action are determined by the real needs of people affected by emergencies.

All actions to provide humanitarian assistance are based on the relationship of its two sides - subjects and objects.

The subjects of humanitarian assistance are organizations of the UN system, other international humanitarian organizations, donor countries. The latter are a decisive link in the system of humanitarian assistance, since it is their material and financial resources that serve as its source. Most of the developed and some other states, such as Australia, Great Britain, the states of the European Union, Canada, the Netherlands, Norway, the USA, Finland, Japan, etc. can be named as examples of UN donor countries.

The right to receive or offer humanitarian assistance is one of the fundamental humanitarian rights that should belong to all people. Therefore, the need to gain unhindered access to disaster victims is essential to the success of humanitarian assistance.
At the same time, citizens of states in distress as a result of natural and man-made emergencies, armed conflicts, and emergency socio-economic circumstances act as objects of humanitarian assistance. In addition, assistance can be provided to local governments and organizations providing life support for the population in emergency zones. If necessary, humanitarian assistance is provided at all stages of the liquidation of an emergency.

In the event of a sudden emergency, humanitarian assistance primarily pursues the goals of material and emergency medical assistance in the name of saving and preserving human lives. In addition, it allows victims to meet their basic needs for medical care, shelter, clothing, water and food, including the means to prepare it.
In the event of a civil or international conflict, the purpose of humanitarian assistance is not only to provide, but also to protect the civilian population, which is most often carried out under the auspices of the relevant UN structures and in cooperation with the International Committee of the Red Cross in accordance with international agreements. In all these cases, the formation, delivery, distribution and delivery of humanitarian aid to those in need is carried out, as already mentioned, through humanitarian operations.

The organization of international disaster response activities is carried out by the UN, international humanitarian organizations, individual states, as a rule, on a bilateral and multilateral basis.

Special bodies, organizations, programs, committees and commissions have been created within the framework of the UN to conduct humanitarian activities, including disaster response. New intergovernmental and non-governmental international humanitarian organizations continue their important activities or emerge.

A special place in the fight against disasters is currently occupied by:
- United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA);
- Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR);
- United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO);
- United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO);
- World Food Program (WFP);
- United Nations Development Program (UNDP);
- United Nations Environment Program (UNEP);
- United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF);
- World Health Organization (WHO);
- World Meteorological Organization (WMO);
- International Committee of the Red Cross;
- International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies;
- International Civil Defense Organization (ICDO) and some others.

Recently, the North Atlantic Alliance (NATO) has stepped up its role in dealing with humanitarian issues, especially through its Department of Civil Emergency Planning (CEP).
As we can see, international activities to counter disasters are based mainly on the efforts of the UN and its bodies. UN General Assembly Resolution 46/182 established the principles for rendering humanitarian assistance and recommended measures to ensure response in large-scale emergencies. At the same time, leadership and coordination of the efforts of the international community to provide assistance in disasters to affected countries is named one of the important tasks of the UN.

A financial mechanism has been set up to respond to the organizations of the UN system, based on the Emergency Fund with a constantly renewing capital of 50 million US dollars.

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs plays the direct coordinating role in disasters. The Office links UN activities with the efforts of other participants in international humanitarian activities, collects contributions for assistance, organizes the interaction of affected countries with donor countries, stimulates the study, forecasting, and prevention of disasters.

The international protection of refugees is carried out under the leadership of the well-known Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. The Office is busy solving the problems of refugees through assistance to states, international and private organizations in the settlement and life support of refugees, their voluntary repatriation or assimilation into new national communities. UNHCR is involved in emergency relief, often leading humanitarian operations.

The coordination of the activities of UN agencies, including on the issue under consideration, is usually carried out by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee. Certain structures, resources, and mechanisms have also been created for the international community to respond to large-scale emergencies under the auspices of the UN.

The coordinated functioning of this system allows the UN, with the participation of states and international organizations, to solve, within the existing political and economic possibilities, the task of enormous complexity in countering disasters at the international level.

In the event of a difficult situation and a discrepancy between the scale of the disaster and the available financial capabilities of the affected state, the UN DHA provides financial assistance to the government of that country. The purpose of this financial assistance, provided by the donor countries of the international community, is to cover the costs of providing the most necessary needs of the affected population, which cannot be financed from national resources. OCHA can provide up to $50,000 by wire transfer through the UNDP office in the affected country. This financial assistance can only be provided if the national government requests international assistance immediately after the occurrence of the emergency and this request is received by the relevant office of the United Nations Development Program within the first week after the emergency.

UN OCHA constantly maintains and renews stocks of emergency aid items received from donor countries in its warehouses located on different continents. One of these warehouses, for example, is located in Pisa (Italy). Basically, these warehouses store the necessary items for the survival of the affected population (tents, blankets, clothes, shoes, etc.), which UN OCHA can deliver by air to the area of the emergency situation free of charge.
The international humanitarian response system that has been created and is currently functioning provides for the provision of humanitarian assistance not only under the leadership of UN OCHA, but also directly by countries that have expressed a desire to provide such assistance.
Today, in many states, primarily donor countries, special governmental organizations have been created that, with the coordinating role of UN OCHA, or independently solve the tasks of humanitarian response.

An example of such a state organization for the provision of humanitarian assistance to foreign countries in emergency situations is the work of the Bureau of Foreign Assistance in the Case of Natural Disasters and Accidents (OFDA) of the United States, which, according to the law of this country on foreign assistance (1961), operates under Agency for International Development. The Director of OFDA is the special coordinator under the President of the United States of all actions of the federal government to provide humanitarian assistance in the event of natural disasters and catastrophes abroad.
The Bureau implements programs to assist other states in preventing and eliminating the consequences of natural and man-made disasters. It uses funds from other federal agencies, organizations, private foundations, and individuals in the United States, provides assistance with machinery and equipment, trains faculty for training systems in other countries, provides improved disaster management technologies, provides material assistance, and sends trained personnel to respond to disasters. disasters.

The issue of assistance is considered in the United States after receiving a request from a country in need of it. The volume of necessary assistance is confirmed by the US ambassador in that country, or by a special emissary sent by the OFDA directly to the disaster area.
Aid to foreign states is provided by decision of the US Congress. Money is requested from Congress by the President of the United States. It sometimes takes more than a year to resolve this issue. At the same time, the US Congress puts forward a number of demands, both political and economic. For example, such requirements may include conditions to provide assistance only with American goods, use only the American fleet for the transportation of aid, etc. However, the President of the United States, if urgent assistance is needed, can make decisions independently (which happens more often in practice) with the subsequent presentation of a report to the US Congress.

The annual budget of OFDA is approved by the US Congress within the limits of about 50 million dollars. If necessary, up to $50 million more can be allocated from other programs.
To control the correct use of the assistance provided, OFDA sends its emissary to the country receiving assistance. All of OFDA's overseas assistance work is carried out on a contract basis. Contracts for the allocation of the necessary forces and means for rendering assistance are concluded with the relevant US services.

The Russian Federation highly appreciates the results achieved by the world community on the difficult and complex path of forming an international system of measures aimed at counteracting disasters and a system of international organizations called upon to carry out these tasks together with national forces. Particularly noteworthy is the effectiveness of the existing economic mechanisms for solving the complex problems of financing humanitarian projects, the skillful search for financial and material resources for this.

The Russian Federation takes an active part in international humanitarian activities. From the point of view of its foreign policy tasks, it views it as international and serving the goals of stability and security in the world. Russia's participation in international humanitarian cooperation has now been elevated to the rank of state policy.

The integration of the EMERCOM of Russia into the activities of similar structures of the world community is an objectively natural and necessary process. It allows you to find effective ways to solve the problems of protecting the population and territories from emergencies, to master international experience in preventing and eliminating emergencies, to minimize the scale of the consequences of major accidents, catastrophes and natural disasters, where the primary factor is the timeliness and professionalism of the actions of the forces involved, including including foreign ones, the effectiveness of the search and use of financial and material resources.

The Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia carries out its activities in providing international humanitarian assistance to the population of the Russian Federation and foreign countries affected by emergency situations jointly with interested federal executive authorities on the basis of decisions of the Government of the Russian Federation with the coordinating role of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

Expenses for economic and humanitarian assistance to foreign countries affected by natural and man-made disasters, military conflicts are provided for by the annual budget of the Russian Federation and amount to about 80 million rubles and 2-2.5 million US dollars. In addition, funds from the reserve fund of the Government of the Russian Federation are used for humanitarian operations and liquidation of the consequences of emergencies. In each specific case of providing humanitarian assistance to the affected country, it is adopted by the relevant decree of the Government of the Russian Federation.

The regulatory legal framework for the international humanitarian activities of the Russian Federation and, in particular, the Russian Emergencies Ministry, are the relevant international legal acts and legislation of our country.

The Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia in the international arena functions in strict accordance with the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the previously named federal laws in the field of natural and technogenic safety, as well as other regulatory legal documents affecting these problems. It should be emphasized that this activity is based on the provisions and on the basis of strict observance of the requirements of the Geneva Conventions for the Protection of Victims of War of 1949 and their Additional Protocols. In addition, it is regulated by decrees of the President of the Russian Federation, decrees of the Government of the Russian Federation and other acts.

In order to mobilize the capabilities of the Russian Emergencies Ministry to carry out humanitarian tasks according to UN standards, the Russian National Corps of Emergency Humanitarian Response was created (Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 13, 1995). The corpus includes:
- agency "EMERKOM";
- central airmobile rescue team, including a mobile hospital;
- automobile and engineering brigades of civil defense;
- aviation company.

Such a structure provided a qualitatively new state of the humanitarian forces of the Russian Emergencies Ministry - readiness to act at the request of the UN and other humanitarian structures in any region of the world with high efficiency.

The Russian normative legal regulation of Russia's participation in international humanitarian activities is supplemented by an appropriate legal framework for international cooperation with other states, unions of states, and international organizations. At the same time, there is a concretization of areas of cooperation, including in the field of humanitarian response, the exchange of scientific and technical information and experience in dealing with emergency situations.
Actual direction of contractual and legal work are interdepartmental and interinstitutional agreements. In this case, there is an opportunity to consolidate the results achieved on specific projects and programs, to form broader partnerships on a mutually beneficial basis. Memorandums and agreements with the UNHCR (1993), NATO (1996), humanitarian structures of Norway (1995), the World Food Program (2001), the Organization of African Unity (1997) and other acts can serve as an example of this.

Thus, the international humanitarian activities of the EMERCOM of Russia and the Russian Federation are based on a solid foundation of domestic legislation, international humanitarian law and contractual relations with foreign countries.

These legal norms apply to bilateral and multilateral relations. At the same time, international normative legal documents have priority. If international treaties of the Russian Federation establish rules other than those contained in the legislation of the country in the field of protection of the population and territories from emergency situations, then the rules of international treaties are applied.

The regulatory legal framework ensures the practical international activities of the Russian Emergencies Ministry in the field of disaster response and solving humanitarian problems, which is important both for the world community and for Russia itself. In this area of its activity, the Ministry, having summarized national and international experience, created a recognized and authoritative assistance service, which, on an equal footing with leading countries, fit into the global system of emergency humanitarian response to disasters and crises of various nature.

The practice of international activities of the EMERCOM of Russia includes cooperation with foreign countries, interstate and non-governmental organizations in the field of protecting the population and territories from emergency situations. Wherein:
- takes part in large-scale and urgent humanitarian actions of the UN and the international community, assisting affected countries in carrying out rescue operations, supplying humanitarian cargo;
- providing support for Russia's interests in solving major foreign policy tasks;
- assistance is provided to Russian citizens in emergency situations abroad;
- technologies of assistance and rescue are jointly developed, professional training of specialists is carried out.

Priority character in the international cooperation of Russia in the field of protection of the population and territories from emergencies of various nature has interaction and cooperation on this issue with the CIS member states.

The priority of these relations is determined by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of September 14, 1995 "On approval of the strategic course for the development of relations between the Russian Federation and the CIS member states." The decree emphasizes that the development of the Commonwealth meets the vital interests of the Russian Federation, and relations with its member states are an important factor in Russia's inclusion in world political and economic structures.

On the basis of this decree, a number of intergovernmental, interdepartmental, bilateral and multilateral agreements were prepared, signed and entered into force with neighboring countries in the field of protecting the population and territories from emergency situations. Their preparation was carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Law on International Treaties of the Russian Federation, the Concept of International Cooperation of the Russian Emergencies Ministry in cooperation with interested federal executive authorities. In total, 16 agreements have been concluded and are in force with the CIS member states, including 10 bilateral and 6 multilateral ones.

As it is clear from the outlined procedure for the provision of emergency international disaster assistance, the main efforts for its provision fall on the UN system and donor countries like the United States. However, this is not enough to successfully counteract disasters.

The bulk of disaster resilience efforts are in most cases carried out at the national level. Affected countries are investing huge amounts of their national financial and material resources in the fight against the disasters that have befallen them, in most cases incomparable with the amount of international assistance.

Such a completely natural ratio of the contribution of the affected states and the world community to the fight against specific disasters will obviously continue in the future. Only a few small developing countries are forced to rely primarily on the help of the world community in case of disasters.
Developing states, adopting the experience of developed states and the UN, are improving their national disaster response systems and economic assistance mechanisms in order to resist them more effectively in the future. However, with the growth of the organizational, technological and economic capabilities of states to counter disasters, the need for international humanitarian activities in this area, including emergency international disaster relief, continues to persist.
