"Universal Declaration of Human Rights"

Title: An International Covenant on Rescue

Article I

It shall be a basic human right for people whose lives are endangered or whose lives are placed in peril by a catastrophic event or by a Major Disaster, whether natural or man made, to receive rescue assistance, regardless of their race, nationality, religion, political affiliation, or geographic location.

Humanitarian issues should be separated from political and military considerations at all times and to the extent possible.

Article II

International Rescue Teams shall not be hindered or prevented from saving lives and that all rescue shall be depolitized to reduce human suffering. A rescue team in transit to a disaster scene shall be expeditiously permitted to do so.
