Recommendation 34
34
Aid workers face unprecedented dangers and attacks, contravening international humanitarian law.
Conclusion
It has never been more dangerous to be a humanitarian aid worker. These workers put their lives on the line every day to protect others. Aid workers suffer direct intimidation and attacks in the field, as well as the impact of vicarious trauma through the processing of media. The disregard of aid worker safety by combatant parties is contrary to the spirit and letter of international humanitarian law. (Conclusion, Paragraph 69)
