Source: Johns Hopkins University, Bloomberg School of Public Health. Published: 7/2019. This 36-page handbook is part of a project that explored the ethical challenges organizations faced in situations of extreme violence in Syria, and, working from that context, sought to provide a framework of principles for ethical decision-making, as well as a handbook with practical guidance for humanitarian health organizations to resolve these complex ethical challenges. It describes the methods of the study, presents key findings from a systematic literature review, and provides examples of four scenarios of ethical challenges that organizations might wish to use as part of their trainings on ethics and ethical decision-making.
