| The
IDRL Project gains international recognition |
International
recognition and support of the Federation's International Disaster
Response Law Project is growing. Most recently the project was
given considerable attention at the UN Economic and Social Council
(ECOSOC) meeting in New York during the session on "Strengthening
of the coordination of humanitarian and disaster relief assistance
of the United Nations, including special economic assistance:
strengthening the coordination of emergency humanitarian assistance
of the United Nations".
On 15 July, Encho Gospodinov, International Federation delegate
to the UN, delivered a speech as part of the discussion panel
on the topic Reaching
the vulnerable in the context of complex humanitarian emergencies
and natural disasters, highlighting the importance of using
IDRL as a tool for ensuring fast and effective access and assistance
to the most vulnerable in time of disaster.
The IDRL Project was also acknowledged by the United National
Secretary General Kofi Annan in paragraph 23 of his report on
Strengthening
of the coordination of emergency humanitarian assistance of
the United Nations. |
