Chairman of the Red Cross appealed to change the tendency to worsen the humanitarian situation
AdvertisementFaced with the rising weapons worldwide, the Chairman of the International Red Cross (CIAP) has expressed his concern over the weakening of the degradation of the destruction and the weakening of international humanitarian law.
“The number of current conflicts is greater than the previous decades, and I have more intensity and destruction than I have seen,” said Mirjana Spoljaric, the 2025 European Humanitarian Forum held in Brussels this week.
The current humanitarian situation around the world is deteriorating, “it is very urgent to change this course.”
Geneva’s International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights Academy is currently monitoring More than 110 armed conflicts Includes at least 55 states and more than 70 non -armed actors.
The most affected areas of the Middle East and North Africa, currently operating over 45 arms conflict in the area.
According to the European Commission, more than 300 million people need humanitarian aid by 2025.
During the latest trips to Chad and Gaza, Spoljerick said how the levels of destruction had completely changed them as a result of tests over the past decade.
“The destruction of civil infrastructure, the destruction of health services and water systems has increased,” he said.
CIAG claims that the examples of humanitarian law citing the developing erosion of international humanitarian law and the Spoljoric Sudan, Ukraine and Gaza are the strict illustrations.
European commissioner Hadja Lahfeeb urged all sides in the Gaza Conflict, “Protecting international humanitarian law,” which appealed to the updated political commitment to strengthen humanitarian diplomacy during the forum.
As for the leader of CIAB, one of the main factors behind this erosion is neglected and “relaxation approach”.
“When we see violations of humanitarian international law, we try to find the excuses that it is not a violation, or we think it is a distant one, but it is not concerned about me, but with the 120 conflicts and the globalized world, we accept a transparent (international law) every time, and send it all right.
Less money, lower activity
The official stressed that the humanitarian industry faces unprecedented budget cuts following the US decision to suspend external and development funds at the beginning of the year.
If the funds are constantly declining, the ICRV will be forced to reduce its presence on the ground, Spoolguric said. “We can’t earn new money, so we can do less,” he said.
The European Union is one of the donors and partners and the world’s leading donor to the world, with its initial humanitarian budget to 2025, with 1.9 billion to 2.3 billion euros.
“For us, the European Union is financially important, of course, but more politically and of course as a conference, and humanitarian access,” the CIAP leader said.
Ukraine, the largest project so far
Currently, the largest civil project is in Ukraine, where they work over 700 people.
“I don’t know how long it will be our biggest project. It is historical to take into account the different requirements in different territories, but it is historical to have such a detailed task in a conflict.”
The organization is the goal of criticism for the inadequate involvement in the conflict, that is, on the history of the war prisoners.
Spoljarick said the CAP continues to be in touch with the Ukrainian Red Cross and local authorities.
He acknowledged that access to war prisoners was a complex negotiation with parties that are always involved in the conflict.
“We have been able to visit a few thousand prisoners … but there is still the big gap of thousands of people we have not visited and we don’t know where they are mostly,” he said.
