Speech: Acting within the core Security Council mandate to protect civilian populations affected by conflict

Thank you Minister Czaputowicz for convening this debate, and thank you also to the Secretary-General, to Director-General Daccord, and to Ms. Edwar for briefing the Council today. And I would in particular like to thank Miss Edwar for reminding us of the human suffering, the human tragedy of war, and I salute your determination to focus on people and not on stones.

Mr President, the core mandate of this Council is to maintain international peace and security. As recognised by this Council, large-scale human suffering can fuel conflict and threaten that security. Therefore, aside from the clear moral reasons for doing so, it is within its core mandate that this Council should act to protect civilian populations affected by conflict.

However, despite our many efforts, attacks on innocent civilians and civilian infrastructure continue to take place. The Secretary-General raised the bombings in Syria. The harrowing images from Eastern Ghouta of homes bombed to rubble, and of innocent civilians – many of them children – killed indiscriminately by the Syrian regime and its backers, should shock and appal all of us. Attacks on civilians and the preventing of humanitarian aid and medical supplies from reaching them, have been a weapon used by the regime.

In Ukraine, despite repeated calls by the European Union and others to immediately stop ceasefire violations around critical civilian infrastructure, notably the Donetsk water filtration station, the indiscriminate shelling continues. And the Education Cluster, co-led by UNICEF and Save the Children, reported that in Ukraine, parties to conflict damaged 42 schools in 2017, representing an increase from 26 schools the previous year.

These attacks damage the very foundations of the systems that are essential to sustain some of the most vulnerable societies throughout periods of conflict and reconstruction.

Mr President, sadly, around the world, healthcare workers are threatened and killed. Their facilities are looted and destroyed, affecting communities’ access to healthcare for years to come. Schools also face attack, and the teachers and boys and girls within them are the target of recruitment, of sexual violence, and other abuses. Those who dedicate their lives to providing essential aid to civilians affected by conflict are also targeted. In South Sudan, more than 100 humanitarian workers have been killed since the conflict began five years ago.

We, the members of this Council, and we, the international community, must do more to protect civilians who are affected by conflict. The intentional targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure is a war crime. International humanitarian law is our framework. As Yves Daccord said, it is our fundamental principle of humanity. We must ensure that it is enforced and perpetrators are held to account.

Let me highlight three areas where the protection of civilians could be improved through the application and enforcement of international humanitarian law.

Firstly, concrete steps must be taken to integrate the protections provided by international humanitarian law into national policies and programmes. We urge states to engage constructively in the inter-governmental Strengthening Respect for International Humanitarian Law Initiative which can help States share best practice and overcome challenges to the practical implementation of international humanitarian law. The UK has recently endorsed the Safe Schools Declaration, and in line with this, and international humanitarian law, we will continue to take all feasible measures to ensure the protection of schools, their teachers, and students – including particularly girls, whose access to education is disproportionately affected by attacks. And we urge others, likewise, to endorse the Declaration and take such action. To strengthen compliance with international humanitarian law by the United Kingdom, nationally, we ensure that all of our military personnel receive robust training throughout their careers. And we are proud to share our expertise with other countries to strengthen compliance, including through making more effective military justice systems.

Secondly, effective monitoring and reporting of compliance with international humanitarian, human rights, and refugee law in situations of conflict is critical to raising awareness of protection issues, and can provide the necessary evidence base for timely political and legal action. The UK strongly supports technological advancements for monitoring and reporting of violations, including the World Health Organisation’s real-time Surveillance System of Attacks on Healthcare. We also support effective international criminal justice systems, which have an important role to play in bringing the perpetrators of atrocities to justice when States are either unable or unwilling to do so. As the Secretary-General said, we must end the climate of impunity.

And third, UN peacekeeping missions play a vital role in protecting civilians in some of the most fragile regions in the world where the application of international humanitarian law is critical. We welcome efforts to support the strengthening of human rights components in UN peacekeeping operations as well as the deployment of UN civilian human rights monitors to countries affected by conflict. Worryingly, we see at times the General Assembly seeking to weaken mandates agreed by this Council and its Fifth Committee by defunding human rights posts. This must stop. We welcome the efforts of the Secretary-General to mobilise all partners and stakeholders in support of more effective UN peacekeeping through his “Action for Peacekeeping” initiative. Improving the efficiency and effectiveness of peacekeeping missions – including through better long-term planning, the right troops and equipment, the increased participation of women, and a clear framework for monitoring and evaluating performance within missions – will further improve their ability to protect civilians.

Mr. President, today, millions of innocent civilians are suffering due to appalling violations of international humanitarian law. This leads to enormous suffering and destroys the social fabric of communities, which in turn threatens peace and security. We must ensure that these violations are not ignored, that perpetrators are held to account, and that we make it ever more difficult in the future for would-be violators to get away with such actions unseen.

Thank you Mr President.

Aid Workers In 4 Countries Facing Famine Warn Trump's Cuts Could Cost Lives

There are now 20 million people on the brink of starvation across four countries grappling with extreme food shortages and conflict. But as the world suffers one of its most severe humanitarian crises in decades, President Donald Trump is threatening to drastically reduce foreign aid as part of his administration’s “America first” budget.

Trump’s proposed cuts come at a time when aid organizations say that more funding is desperately needed to save millions from dying. United Nations officials declared the world’s first famine in six years in parts of South Sudan in February and now fear that Nigeria, Somalia and Yemen are edging toward similar preventable crises.

“Without collective and coordinated global efforts, people [in these countries] will simply starve to death,” U.N. humanitarian coordinator Stephen O’Brien warned in March. Days later, Trump unveiled the blueprint for his 2018 budget, which seeks “deep cuts” to humanitarian initiatives abroad.

The defunding of some U.S. foreign aid programs is already underway. Last week, the Trump administration halted all grants to the U.N. Population Fund, an organization that provides reproductive health care in more than 150 countries.

As the president awaits congressional approval for his proposed 28 percent slash in funding for USAID, which already accounts for less than 1 percent of the federal budget, experts working in each of the four at-risk countries talked to The Huffington Post about what such cuts could mean for their regions at this time.

Many aid officials agree that an increase in aid is not a panacea to the many humanitarian challenges facing Yemen, Somalia, Nigeria and South Sudan, but that more funding is desperately needed to stop these crises from plunging even deeper.

“We’ve always depended on very generous support in the U.S.,” World Food Programme Regional Director Valerie Guarnieri told HuffPost at a U.N. media briefing Tuesday. “Any reduction [to foreign aid] in the U.S. budget would impact on our ability to reach people who are in need and our ability to avert a catastrophe.”

Nigeria

In Nigeria, Boko Haram’s militant insurgency has killed thousands of people, forced millions to flee their homes and spurred an immense hunger crisis. UNICEF estimates that 450,000 children will suffer severe acute malnutrition this year, at least 90,000 of which could die without urgent treatment.

The waves of displacement resulting from Boko Haram attacks and the group’s conflict with government forces have created a complex humanitarian crisis in which areas of northeast Nigeria are too unstable to safely deliver aid.

“It’s not a mathematical equation of we’ve got this amount of people, they need this amount of stuff, let’s just get a truck in and they’ll be good,” said Patrick Rose, crisis communications specialist for UNICEF. “The truck arrives, it gets blown up. The next truck arrives, it gets hijacked. The next truck arrives, and people have moved by that point.”

In July of last year, UNICEF was forced to temporarily suspend its work in northeast Borno state after Boko Haram attacked an aid convoy.

The security situation is so severe that there are currently 1.78 million displaced citizens in Nigeria, and more than 8 million more are in need of humanitarian aid. It’s believed that 2,000 people died last year in a famine-struck Borno town that has been inaccessible to aid agencies.

There is also a longstanding shortage of funding and attention to the crisis, Rose said, which U.N. officials stated last year was greater in scale than aid organizations had anticipated. People are in desperate need of services ranging from malnutrition treatment to psychosocial support for trauma.

“It would be simplistic to say that under [President Barack] Obama everything was great and now under Trump everything is bad. We’ve got a compound deficit of compassion for this crisis,” Rose said.

But if the U.S. were to decrease funding and ignore the mounting need, officials warn it could allow the humanitarian situations to deteriorate even further.

“Certainly this is not the time to shy away,” Rose said. “Once we start to see an erosion of leadership within the global order and architecture ... we start to see an erosion of rights very, very quickly.”

Somalia

Unrelenting drought conditions and armed conflict in Somalia have triggered mass displacement, which has in turn led to a cholera outbreak and human rights abuses including gender-based violence. Some 6.2 million Somalis require humanitarian assistance, including hundreds of thousands of malnourished children.

The outlook in Somalia seems grim, but Peter de Clercq, U.N. humanitarian and resident coordinator for Somalia, says there is hope for improvement ― if adequate resources are secured.

“By being preemptive and working with regional authorities, so far the situation hasn’t gone as badly out of hand as it could have ― we haven’t declared a famine,” he said. “It hasn’t happened, but that doesn’t mean it’s not going to happen. We’ve been able to stave it off, and we hope that through very strong involvement and if we get the resources we need, we’ll be able to avert a famine.”

youtube

Fundraising efforts in Somalia a year ago were focused on crisis prevention, including maintaining resilience and keeping people’s livestock alive, said de Clercq, who also serves as deputy special representative of the U.N. secretary-general in Somalia.

But the targets were missed and the resources remained out of reach, he explained, and now humanitarian efforts have turned toward saving lives.

“We launched an accelerated assistance appeal early this year, as we could see the situation spiraling more and more in a negative direction,” he said.

In late 2016, the U.N. issued an urgent plea for $864 million in funding to support Somalia’s most vulnerable people throughout all of 2017. As the crisis worsened, that appeal soared to $825 million for the first six months of this year alone.

Aid agencies in Somalia are already struggling to reach populations in regions occupied by al-Shabab, an al Qaeda-linked extremist group. Trump recently approved more aggressive airstrikes against al-Shabab militants by the U.S. Army, but experts fear this will put civilians in greater danger.

South Sudan

Weeks before Trump released his budget blueprint, South Sudanese President Salva Kiir formally declared a famine in parts of the country.

As the five-year-old nation sinks deeper into economic collapse and armed conflict, the need for foreign aid is only getting stronger.

Violence between warring government and rebel forces has expanded into a feud between ethnic groups with no end in sight. The chaos is causing mass displacement and disrupting farming activity, which has devastated South Sudan’s vital agriculture industry.

The famine is “wholly man-made; a result of the conflict,” said David Shearer, special representative of the U.N. secretary-general in South Sudan. “More than half of the population will face food shortages and will need food assistance.”

A severe drought has stretched on in the southeast of the world’s youngest country, and a continued cholera outbreak has claimed thousands of lives since 2014. At least 100,000 South Sudanese are now facing death, and 1 million more languish on the brink of starvation.

“This is a largely agrarian society where people rely heavily on what they grow. So unless farmers can get back to their fields and start planting again, especially in the coming weeks as the rainy season approaches, vast numbers will remain dependent on aid,” explained Shearer, who heads the U.N. mission in South Sudan. “That’s not what they, the international community or the government wants, but it is the reality we face.”

Political corruption has led the crisis to rapidly deteriorate, as Kiir’s government has obstructed access to aid workers and drastically hiked the cost of their permits. His regime has also been accused of looting aid supplies.

At least 700,000 people have fled to Uganda at a rate of nearly 3,000 a day. Shearer warns that some of those who remain “are so scared of the brutal fighting ― that often targets civilians ― that they are hiding out in swamps.”

“The U.S. has traditionally been very generous and gives more than any other country,” said Shearer. “With so many humanitarian crises in the world today, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to raise funds to support the most vulnerable and disadvantaged people.”

Yemen

Yemen’s two-year civil war has left the country’s health facilities a shambles, millions suffering from severe malnutrition and aid organizations stretched to their limits. In a country that faced longstanding humanitarian challenges before the conflict, Yemen is now experiencing one of the world’s worst hunger crises.

“Over the past two years the situation has really steadily deteriorated and is going from bad to worse,” said Robert Mardini, the Middle East regional director of the International Committee of the Red Cross.

One child dies every 10 minutes in Yemen of preventable diseases, according to UNICEF. The ICRC warned last month that Yemen, along with Somalia, was three to four months away from famine conditions.

“The dynamics of the conflict today make it very difficult to organize, for instance, overnight massive food distribution operations,” Mardini said. He described how constant shelling and conflict in the city of Taiz last month made what should be a straightforward route into a convoluted and arduous journey.

“What used to be a 10-minute walk took my team four hours via a donkey track through the mountains,” Mardini said.

Houthi rebels, allied with former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, have been in open civil war with loyalists of the internationally recognized president, Abdrabbah Mansour Hadi, for two years. Saudi Arabia supports Hadi and has been conducting an airstrike campaign that has killed thousands, as well as a naval blockade that has complicated aid shipments.

Increased conflict, especially around the key port of Hodeidah, could further cut off shipments and push the country into famine. Aid agencies and rights groups are calling for increased aid and a political solution to the conflict as soon as possible, warning that the alternative is a spiraling hunger crisis and increased death toll.

The U.S. instead is continuing to offer military support to the Saudi-led coalition as well as increasing U.S. airstrikes that target al Qaeda’s affiliate in Yemen. This ongoing conflict has created a man-made hunger crisis in which aid funding is desperately needed but is limited amid the fighting.

“Even if we had 2 billion U.S. dollars tomorrow, we wouldn’t be able to solve all the problems in Yemen. It’s not only about money,” Mardini said.

In July of last year, UNICEF was forced to temporarily suspend its work in northeast Borno state after Boko Haram attacked an aid convoy.

But if the U.S. were to decrease funding and ignore the mounting need, officials warn it could allow the humanitarian situations to deteriorate even further.

Somalia

The outlook in Somalia seems grim, but Peter de Clercq, U.N. humanitarian and resident coordinator for Somalia, says there is hope for improvement ― if adequate resources are secured.

But the targets were missed and the resources remained out of reach, he explained, and now humanitarian efforts have turned toward saving lives.

“We launched an accelerated assistance appeal early this year, as we could see the situation spiraling more and more in a negative direction,” he said.

South Sudan

Weeks before Trump released his budget blueprint, South Sudanese President Salva Kiir formally declared a famine in parts of the country.

As the five-year-old nation sinks deeper into economic collapse and armed conflict, the need for foreign aid is only getting stronger.

Yemen

One child dies every 10 minutes in Yemen of preventable diseases, according to UNICEF. The ICRC warned last month that Yemen, along with Somalia, was three to four months away from famine conditions.

“What used to be a 10-minute walk took my team four hours via a donkey track through the mountains,” Mardini said.

“Even if we had 2 billion U.S. dollars tomorrow, we wouldn’t be able to solve all the problems in Yemen. It’s not only about money,” Mardini said.
