Minorities in situations of humanitarian crises 2016, para. 17
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- This was perhaps most recently reflected by the recent World Humanitarian Summit convened in 2016 by the Secretary-General in response to the recognition that civil strife and conflicts are driving suffering and humanitarian need to unprecedented levels. Seeking to bring together humanitarian actors to think about ways to improve the international humanitarian system to address the magnitude of challenges currently facing the world, the slogan "Leave no one behind" was a core tenet of the Summit. It was also core responsibility 3 in the Secretary-General's report (see A/70/709, annex), and was included in the Chair's summary as a key goal of the Summit. Nevertheless, the Special Rapporteur notes with regret that very few discussions during the Summit actually included reference to the specific situation, and the greater level of vulnerability of minorities. Moreover, in the Chair's Summary, there was no mention of minorities in humanitarian situations.
