What criteria has to be met for a country to give another country aide?

That is totally up to the governments of the two countries.

It totally depends on the circumstances and the two countries involved.

The hypothetical situation that you postulated: giving aid to a country to kill people has unfortunately occurred.

Political, I’m sure. Humanitarian sometimes but I think you scratch my back I scratch yours is at the bottom of it. Like when the US gives Pakistan all that dough it is so the Pakistanis won’t screw the US….as much.

elaborate, maybe? like @WestRiverrat says, it really depends. Are you thinking of the U.S specifically? Or maybe the U.N. as a body?

@quarkquarkquark The United States.

There are no set criteria here, but foreign aid bills have to pass the Senate and the House of Representatives. This means that they generally can’t be objectionable in any major way.

One critereon I know is they have to ask for the aide.
