Abstract
⺠Images of victims displayed by medical humanitarian organisations are often problematic from the standpoint of biomedical ethics. ⺠The display of images of suffering bodies confronts humanitarian with medical moral values and reveals their differences. ⺠Calls for action and outrage are examples of distinct moral values which can justify humanitarian imagery. ⺠Different understandings of 'témoignage' underpin various degrees of the objectification of victims. ⺠For substantive and practical reasons specific to humanitarian action new processes of consent for imagery from victims need to be explored.
