In May 2024, the Security Council voted UNSC 2730(2024) almost unanimously, acknowledging the increased targeting of aid workers and buildings belonging to humanitarian organisations, the repeated denials of access to humanitarian aid, and the limited investigations and prosecutions of the international humanitarian law and human rights violations and abuses committed.
The objective of this side event is to gather the perspectives of donors and organisations at the forefront of concrete efforts to translate UNSC 2730(2024), the Political Declaration, and other policy commitments, into concrete action to prevent violence against aid workers and promote their protection worldwide.
