This paper asks whether initiatives designed to improve accountability really are the solution to the problems humanitarianism faces. It does not aim to dismiss accountability; rather, it seeks to show that accountability is a procedural phenomenon, not a moral one. Imposing it in the absence of a more specific understanding of what it means is dangerous, the author argues, and subject to instrumentalization and manipulation.
