Abstract

Although humanitarian aid activities aim to relieve suffering and improve the existing situation, in some cases this goodwill can do more harm than good. There are moral dilemmas experienced for various reasons on the basis of this. A humanitarian action in a civil war may experience a moral dilemma for various reasons, and this dilemma may lead to various bad consequences. As a result of all these, the duration and severity of the civil war may increase. In this study, moral dilemmas experienced in humanitarian aid activities in civil wars will be discussed. Moral dilemmas will be examined, and their causes and consequences will be evaluated. The moral dilemmas experienced in the selected civil wars and how the duration and severity of the war were affected as a result of these dilemmas will be examined. In this context, moral dilemmas experienced in humanitarian aid activities in civil wars, especially in Rwanda, Bosnia, Nigeria, Afghanistan, and Yemen Civil Wars, will be discussed.
