Will the principle of humanity survive the critique of anthropocentrism and a call for post-humanism?

Should neutrality be maintained in a geopolitical environment where despotic regimes thrive and control humanitarian efforts? And should self-determination be added as a humanitarian principle in order to advance local agency?

The recording of the roundtable is now available here.
