Proud of our UN mission interns Peter and Chloe who spoke at the
#ATT
on the importance of more countries joining the Treaty and the critical role of transparency and reporting. Great job!
On
#WorldHumanitarianDay
we remember the UN staff who have lost their lives while doing their duty. 2023 was the worst year ever & 2024 could be even worse. We call for adherence to
#IHL
and for safe, unimpeded access for all humanitarian workers to support civilians in need.
“On this World Humanitarian Day, I stand in solidarity with civilians, and the brave Red Cross Red Crescent staff and volunteers who risk their lives daily to help others. I thank them for their unwavering dedication”
Mirjana Spoljaric, ICRC President
Australia 🇦🇺 is deeply concerned by increasing incidents of violence affecting humanitarian workers around the world.
This
#WorldHumanitarianDay

Today is
#WorldHumanitarianDay

At Parliament House this morning we paused to honour humanitarian workers around the world.
Humanitarians must always be protected & afforded safe, unimpeded access to those in need.

It is fundamental to Australia’s ability to respond to crises, support local communities, and uphold humanitarian values.
