Human Rights Maps: Debt Relief and the HIPC Initiative

1. Why have some countries donated more in aid to the victims of Typhoon Haiyan than others?
- Countries that donated more probably want to maintain a good relationship with Philippines especially when they highly interact with economic activities (like trading). Also, if countries that donated or helped Philippines get into a trouble, Philippines would help as much as they can. So it is like a "give and take". Or they just simply may have a higher GDP than the others.

2. How does the aid being sent to victims of Typhoon Haiyan represent the following:

altruism

geopolitics

neo-colonialism?
