There is a small number of binding international documents on the issue of the right to receive medical assistance in response to natural and man-made disasters. In recent years, however, soft law instruments have been developed in this area, including the draft articles on the protection of persons in the event of a disaster, adopted by the UNHCR, the UN Guidelines on Internal Displacement, and the Code of Conduct for the Red Cross. And mention the Red Crescent and the humanitarian charter and the minimum standards in response to disasters. Although these documents are not binding, they can play an important role in creating convergence and coordination among international actors to provide medical assistance. Simply put, these non-binding documents play a role in the process of shaping international customs. On the other hand, in drafting articles on the protection of persons in the event of a disaster, the International Law Commission has taken into account the importance of non-binding standards and norms to develop an internationally acceptable legal framework for the protection of victims of disasters. Given this importance, in the present study, in order to better understand the principles and standards related to humanitarian aid, we should examine the provisions of these documents.   Please cite this article as: Alizadeh Y, Masoudinia M, Rostami S, Beyranvand F.
