The Obligation of States for Acceptance and Sending Humanitarian Assistance During Natural Disasters

States have the obligation to protect the people who live in their territory and assist them during natural disasters because States have Sovereignty. But the reality is that all of the States have not the same power and so humanitarian assistance without the cooperation of other states and international organizations is impossible. ILC has studied on this subject for some years and finally completed a draft articles and sending it to the states for getting their opinions. Under ILC draft affected state has obligation to make available humanitarian assistance for its people and its consent is the essential element for sending humanitarian assistance to it although affected state does not have to object to humanitarian assistance arbitrarily. The Responsibility to protect is the most important reason that states make available humanitarian assistance for affected states.
