UNHCR's mandate: the politics of being non-political
Listed in ZivaHub and Deakin Research Online and DMU Figshare — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.25446/oxford.33359685.v1
This study gives no separate attention to the concept of impartiality.
Description
Impartiality refers to giving equal attention to persons of concern based on personal need related to health and welfare. Being humanitarian (or non-political, or neutral) on the other hand, and for present purposes, refers to a protective agency's relationship with other primary actors, usually governments, but sometimes intergovernmental organizations and non-state parties.
The ideas of impartiality and neutrality can overlap. The issue of donors earmarking funds given to UNHCR affects mostly impartiality but not usually neutrality. Because of donors, UNHCR may distribute more goods and services to Kosovar refugees than African refugees with comparable personal needs.

The principle of impartiality is thereby violated, but the principle of neutrality is not.
