Preferred term

bilateral versus multilateral aid  

Definition

  • Regardless of the extent of a major disaster, relief work is the responsibility of the government of the country in which it occurs. International organizations generally do not have the right to infringe upon national sovereignty, but international mechanisms do exist to channel foreign aid to an affected nation.
