1- NCCI Code of conduct NCCI members are bound by the following principles: 1. The humanitarian imperative comes first free from religious and political agenda and economic gain.
2. Our activities will be free from exploitation and abuse of our positions and the resources at our disposal and for the sole benefit of vulnerable population.
3. We seek at all times to involve program beneficiaries in planning, implementation and monitoring of our humanitarian activities.
4. We hold ourselves accountable in the provision of assistance to our beneficiaries.
5. While recognizing the high-risk environment in which NGOs are currently operating in Iraq, NGOs carrying weapons risk placing the beneficiary population and their staff at unnecessary danger. Carrying weapons also sends a confused perception of our behavior and violates the basic humanitarian principles, which are providing assistance and not hurting people.
6. No armed belligerents in NGOs premises and vehicles.
7. No armed escorts in the provision of humanitarian assistance.
