Recommendation 33

33

Commemorate sacrifices of aid workers through memorial services and parliamentary updates.

Recommendation
We recommend that the Government takes appropriate opportunities to commemorate the sacrifices of the hundreds of aid workers every year who pay the ultimate price in the service of others. This should include representation at the memorial service in Westminster Abbey, speeches coinciding with the UN Secretary General’s update on Resolution 2730 (2024), and when updating Parliament on the FCDO’s work.
