Joint communication on humanitarian aid

This resolution responds to a joint communication on humanitarian aid. Amendments note that over 300 million people need aid while funding falls short, and defend international humanitarian law and the principles of humanity, impartiality, neutrality and independence. They address protection of humanitarian workers, gender-based violence, sanctions and counter-terrorism exemptions building on UN Security Council Resolution 2664, a common EU humanitarian diplomacy strategy under a Team Europe approach, localisation targets, and the humanitarian-development-peace nexus. They also cover forced displacement, private sector involvement and the Global Gateway, climate as a risk multiplier including for small island developing states, and protection of persecuted religious minorities.
