“The charter of the United Nations promised human rights for citizens while establishing equal rights for countries. This arrangement [...] is falling apart,” argues David Miliband, head of the International Rescue Committee, in a piece for The Economist
of the United Nations promised human rights for citizens while establishing equal rights for countries. This arrangement—which balances responsibility from states, co-operation among states and accountability of states—is falling apart. In 2021 there were near record numbers of people in extreme poverty, malnourished and fleeing violence. The system for responding to and preventing humanitarian crises, built on the pillars of state sovereignty and international law, is at risk of collapsing.
The situation is dire. The International Rescue Committee , which I lead, produces an annual “emergency watchlist” of the top 20 countries in need of humanitarian action. Based on 66 indicators—such as civil unrest, state capacity, forced displacement and vulnerability to natural disasters—the latest ranking released today places Afghanistan, Ethiopia and Yemen at the top of the list. Of a combined population of 800m in the 20 countries, some 244m people need assistance.
Third, create a new and independent Organisation for the Protection of Humanitarian Access. The denial of aid and humanitarian access has become an armament in conflict, from Syria and Ethiopia to Yemen and Afghanistan. The world needs new muscle to prevent aid from being strangled or used as a weapon.
