Close to the end of this month (May), and following two years of pain-staking consultations, the World Humanitarian Summit will be convened. The summit comes in reply to, and based on, a call to action by the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon aiming to “re-inspire and reinvigorate a commitment to humanity and to the universality of humanitarian principles. Initiate a set of concrete actions and commitments aimed at enabling countries and communities to better prepare for and respond to crises, and be resilient to shocks and share best practices which can help save lives around the world, put affected people at the center of humanitarian action, and alleviate suffering“. |
