Joint NGO declaration: UN Security Council discussion on the protection of humanitarian space
Format
Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen,
We welcome this discussion today which is more critical than ever. We hope it will enable the Security Council to take actions, to lead efforts to protect humanitarian space and to firmly react when such space is attacked.
Humanitarian needs have never been as high as they are today. The world is on the verge of a hunger pandemic with conflict, climate and environmental crisis, social inequalities and COVID-19 ravaging the poorest. The humanitarian imperative remains paramount: we must save lives and provide people with the protection and dignity that they are rightfully and fundamentally entitled to.
