Relief

Nowadays, human life is full of incidents that have greatly increased the risk. In a society based on altruism, morality dictates that every person who can help others should do so. This point has been descriptively and analytically accepted in the examination of the legal system of Iran and the duty to help has been accepted with all the conditions. The obligation to help is established when a person is exposed to a life-threatening danger and the helper can prevent that or the aggravation of its outcome or the injured person asks for help in an emergency and the helper understands that. In the present study, the importance of the duty to rescue was investigated regarding the legal system of other countries especially those with common law. It is necessary to amend laws in Iran to expand the scope of the duty to rescue by reducing the conditions of that considering the increase in accidents in society

INTRODUCTION: Well-established guidelines and standards are essential for effective disaster management and relief operations. The aim of this study was to review the existing documentation in Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies regarding disaster relief guidelines. METHODS: This narrative review was conducted using a documentary research method in 2023. In order to find articles related to standardization of relief and recommendations, extensive searches were conducted in relevant databases, with a special emphasis on the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) database. The identified documents were analyzed using document analysis and classification techniques. FINDINGS: The most important point in the IFRC review was that the guidelines are divided into two parts: general and specific. It is not necessary to use general guidelines, but specific guidelines are important. IFRC guidelines are usually developed in cooperation with the 190 member states. However, it is recommended that each country adapt these guidelines to its own specific circumstances. CONCLUSION: The results showed that when it comes to specialist areas such as housing and aid workers safety, IFRC recommendations are a valuable resource for countries when developing and updating national disaster relief protocols. While the IFRC principles provide a useful starting point, their successful use requires careful review and modification to meet the unique local conditions and requirements of each country.
