We continue to witness an escalation of violence which is further undermining efforts to deliver humanitarian assistance and uphold human dignity.  

We live in a world, where fragmentation threatens unity, where disregard for international humanitarian law has become alarmingly commonplace, and where our humanitarian principles are continuously challenged and misinterpreted.  

Humanitarian assistance requires an enabling environment, free of conditions and pressure, so it can reach everyone in need, without exception.  

It is time to prioritize dialogue and peace for those who are caught in the crossfire of conflicts and other crises.   

It is time for the guns to fall silent.  

We ask you to stand with us in pursuit of peace, reaffirming our commitment to human dignity, protection and humanity for all.
