This study aims to evaluate the status of the partnerships with important international organisations that Korea employs in operating its foreign aid projects from a humanitarian point of view. On the basis of this information, Korea intends to seek ways of effectively supporting underdeveloped countries through future co-operation with these organisations. The main international organisations analysed are the World Food Programme (WFP), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the World Health Organisation (WHO), the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the (United Nations) Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). These international organisations support underdeveloped countries through co-operative relationships not only with Korea but also with important donor countries of the OECD. This study focuses on establishing the factors that Korea needs to consider when providing humanitarian aid in the future to underdeveloped countries via such international organisations.

Despite significant advances, there are major deficits in the provision of palliative care throughout the world. Issues including inadequate access to essential medications, lack of education of health professionals, absent national policies on palliative care and pain management, poverty, lack of infrastructure, and social and political dislocation all challenge this provision. One response to these deficits has been advocacy stating that palliative care is a basic human right. This chapter examines the history and foundations of this concept, the response of the United Nations and other international bodies, and the practical ways a human rights approach can advance advocacy for, and the provision of, palliative care.

This research is to explore causes and preventions of different hatred based crimes in the light of Khutba Hajja tul Wida and the Universal Charter of the United Nations for human rights. The farewell sermon of the Holy Prophet at Arafat was during His last hajj (Pilgrimage) entitled as “Khutba Hajja-tul-Wida”. This address was full of advices and instructions not only for the audiences but for the whole humanity. This address is the first comprehensive charter of internationalization in the history of the human. Some of the crimes and their causes like injustice, racism, favoritism, caste and family differences, revenge, rebellion, interest based economy, corruption, killing, terrorism are common in all the countries of the world. This study elaborates that these crimes is the consequences of imbalance in rights and responsibilities. All of us want to acquire our rights but very few people are willing to fulfil their responsibility and duty. The voice and slogans for human rights are raised everywhere around the world but almost these people violate the laws enacted for human rights themselves. Charter of United Nations also stress on the fulfilment of the human rights but till now it could not control the violence, human right violations, terrorism, killing and other crimes all over the world. Therefore all the laws for a crime-free world should be made in the light of Khutba Hajja-tul-Wida to avoid all types of flaw. As we know that all the sayings of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) are revealed by Allah Subhana’hu wa’tala.
