As of June 25th, 2005, SSHADA has adopted the code of ethics of the Saskatchewan Council for International Co-Operation (SCIC) an organization of which SSHADA is currently an associate member.

Section 1.0 of the SCIC Code of Ethics reads as follows:

1.0 PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT 

The Saskatchewan Council for International Cooperation 
(SCIC) and its Member Organizations are 
committed to the following development principles: 

a) development, itself understood to be a basic 
right, should foster and promote the full realization 
of human rights and fundamental freedoms;

b) development should be people-centred in both 
its purposes and the distribution of its benefits; 

c) development should enable people, especially 
the poor, the oppressed and the marginalized, to 
organize and to improve their political, social and 
economic situation; 

d) development should ensure the satisfaction of 
basic human needs; 

e) development should address the root causes of 
global inequality and not merely its symptoms; 

f) development should be environmentally and 
economically sustainable and not jeopardize the 
wellbeing of future generations;
 
g) development should promote social justice 
through the equitable distribution of power, wealth 
and access to resources; 

h) development should reflect the concerns, 
perspectives, and experience of women, and enable 
women to realize their full economic, social, cultural, 
civil and political rights;
 
i) development should both require and facilitate 
the full participation of individuals and groups 
marginalized, on the basis of race, national or ethnic 
origin, colour, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age 
or mental or physical disability, in political and 
economic decision-making; 

j) development should respect indigenous peoples 
and their rights to self-determination, to sovereignty 
over their own territories and to cultural integrity; 

k) development should respect the cultural and 
spiritual rights and integrity of all peoples; 

l) development should recognize the hazards of 
militarism and should promote peaceful solutions to 
violent conflict, whether international, national or 
local; 

m) development is a global process which should link 
common interests and issues and build an 
international movement for change.
