Contexte & Mission Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) est une organisation humanitaire médicale à but non lucratif qui intervient dans des situations de crise et de conflit. Conformément à sa charte, MSF apporte son aide aux populations en besoin, aux victimes de catastrophes naturelles ou provoquées par l'homme et de conflits armés, sans distinction de race, de religion ou de croyances politiques. L'activité de MSF est fondée sur des principes humanitaires, agissant de manière indépendante et impartiale. Plus de 90 pour cent du financement global provient de sources privées non gouvernementales. MSF est neutre et ne prend pas parti dans les conflits armés ; fournissant des soins uniquement sur la base du besoin. Les équipes médicales de MSF sont souvent témoins de violences et de négligences dans le cadre de leur travail, principalement dans des régions qui reçoivent peu d'attention internationale. MSF peut s'exprimer publiquement dans le but d'attirer l'attention sur une crise oubliée, d'alerter le public sur des obstacles et/ou des abus se produisant au-delà des gros titres, de critiquer les insuffisances de la réponse humanitaire ou de contester le détournement de l'aide humanitaire à des fins politiques.
