The aim of the Handbook is to improve the quality of humanitarian response in situations of disaster and conflict, and to enhance the accountability of the humanitarian system to disaster-affected people. The Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards in Humanitarian Response are the product of the collective experience of many people and agencies. They should therefore not be seen as representing the views of any one agency.  \nFirst trial edition 1998 First final edition 2000 Second edition 2004 Third edition 2011  \nSecond re-print October 2011 ISBN 978-1-908176-00-4  \nA catalogue record for this publication is available from The British Library and the US Library of Congress.  \nAll rights reserved.

What they offer, however, is an opportunity for the enhancement of assistance with the aim of making a difference to the lives of people affected by disaster.  \nFrom their origin in the late 1990s, as an initiative of a group of humanitarian NGOs and the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, the Sphere standards are now applied as the de facto standards in humanitarian response in the 21st century.  \nA word of gratitude must, therefore, be given to all those who have made this happen.  \nTon van Zutphen John Damerell  \nSphere Board Chair Project Manager  \nAcknowledgements  \nThe revision of the Sphere Handbook has been an extensive, collaborative and consultative process, engaging a considerable number of people around the world – too many to mention individually by name.
