Protecting civilians in armed conflict is a responsibility Member States and the UN Security Council must uphold. It is a legal obligation and a moral imperative.

After 4 years in this role, I leave with one enduring truth: humanitarian action begins with humanity.
Behind every meeting, mission, statement and statistic is a whole village of people making the work possible. To everyone who stood behind these stats: thank you.✨

We condemn the violations of international law meant to protect civilians in armed conflict.
For the sake of our shared humanity, the rules that protect civilians must be upheld.

We do not lack laws to protect civilians in war. We lack the courage from states to enforce them.

In Baidoa, Somalia, cuts are biting and the Strait of Hormuz closure is driving costs up fast. Partners like @MSF are forced to make even harder choices about who to help.
We need to get more support to extraordinary humanitarians like Dr. Asma.

Even wars have rules, and these rules must be respected. We demand respect for international law, immediate protection of civilians & accountability.
➡️ Full statement with my fellow @iascch colleagues 👇
We are alarmed by sustained violations of the rules of war and IHL across the Middle East. Thousands of civilians have been killed and injured just in the last month. Hundreds of thousands displaced.
All parties must protect civilians and infrastructure.

How do humanitarians choose where to act when needs are massive and everything is urgent?

In a world facing overlapping crises - from Sudan, to Lebanon to the wider issues in the Middle East - the demand for humanitarian aid has never been greater. But as needs grow, the global response is struggling to keep up.
In the latest episode of The Fourcast, Krishnan Guru-Murthy speaks to Tom Fletcher, the United Nations’ Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, about the immense challenges of delivering life-saving support in today’s fractured world. How does the UN prioritise when everything is urgent?

Momentum.
Thank you Estonia for backing our plan to save 87 million lives.
