Istanbul Principles. The Istanbul Principles are a statement of common values and approaches to guide CSO work, with adaptability to highly diverse and different country context and CSO approaches. They have universal application to CSO roles and practices in all settings, including conflict situations, in different areas of work from service delivery to policy advocacy, and along a continuum from humanitarian emergencies to long-term development. They encapsulate principles from different international agreements and agreements on development that we wish to apply as a foundation for CSOs to reflect upon, evaluate, and continuously improve, their development effectiveness and practice.
