Dear David:
The answer lies in: the Constitution of the Universal House of Justice, which is the "Most Great Law" of the Baha'i Faith, according to the Baha'i Teachings; and in the Sacred Writings of Baha'u'llah, and Abdu'l-Baha, and Shoghi Effendi, where the duties of the Universal House of Justice include charitable activities for the whole of humankind.
Best,
Barmak

Dear David,
As a Baha'i in Thailand, I can confirm that the Universal House of Justice
sent some money to our NSA to assist those affected in Tsunami. Our NSA and
many LSAs and individual Baha'is here also contributed towards this purpose
and then the whole amount was contributed to those affected in Tsunami
specially the children who lost their parents. I also heard from some Baha'i
friends in Indonesia and Sri Lanka that the House has also contributed to
those affected in those countries too.
Warm regards,
Firouz
