  1. “In conclusion, the 120 States members of the Non-Aligned Movement wish to pay tribute and acknowledge the commendable work done by the many humanitarian workers, including physicians and other health personnel, who are carrying out their work in the context of armed conflicts and who, in many cases, work under adverse conditions on the ground, risking their lives daily, in their quest to alleviate the human suffering of those trapped in armed conflict. Our sincere appreciation goes to the men and women who work for life and for humankind.”

  2. “It recognizes also the need to respect international refugee law and to preserve the civilian and humanitarian character of refugee camps, and in this regard calls on receiver States to ensure the demilitarization of refugee camps. Another matter of deep concern to the States members of the Movement is their ability to respond to humanitarian emergencies, including in the context of armed conflict, owing to the impact of various phenomena ranging from climate change to the consequences of the economic and financial crisis, and from insecurity in the area of food, energy and water to the negative impacts of unilateral coercive measures, among many others. In this regard, we must work together to address these challenges and strengthen our capacity for resilience, particularly in terms of prevention, preparedness and response.”

  3. “The Non-Aligned Movement also stresses that humanitarian agencies and their personnel must respect international humanitarian law and the laws of the country in which they are operating, as well as the guiding principles of humanitarian assistance set out in the annex to General Assembly resolution 46/182, including the principles of humanity, neutrality and impartiality, as well as non-interference in the internal affairs of host countries, and the sovereignty, territorial integrity, national unity and independence of States. The Non-Aligned Movement recognizes the importance of early and effective recording and census systems as a means of quantifying and assessing the need for the provision and delivery of humanitarian assistance.”

  4. “That includes the principles of precaution against attacks, proportionality and differentiation aimed, inter alia, at banning attacks against civilian populations, civilian property and some special properties during an armed conflict. This also includes the obligation of the parties to any conflict to ensure general protection from dangers posed by military operations to civilian facilities, hospitals, means of transport and relief materials, as well as to the distribution of such materials.”

  5. “It is therefore necessary for all parties to comply fully with their obligations under international law, as appropriate, and under international humanitarian law, in particular their obligations under the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their obligations under the Additional Protocols of 1999 and 2005, as indicated in the concept note (S/2017/365, annex) for this open debate. That is needed in order to enable and facilitate the safe and unimpeded passage of impartial humanitarian relief, including medical missions, personnel and supplies. The member States of the Non-Aligned Movement also call on all parties to international armed conflicts to redouble their efforts to comply with their obligations under international humanitarian law.”

  6. “In reaffirming that the protection of civilians throughout their territory is the primary responsibility of host countries, the Heads of State and Government of the Movement ofNon-Aligned Countries recognized that that task is sometimes also entrusted to United Nations peacekeeping operations, to which they reaffirmed their commitment. In that regard, the members States of the Non-Aligned Movement recognized that many humanitarian agencies and health personnel operate in countries where United Nations peacekeeping missions are deployed, where they play an important role in assisting civilians in the context of armed conflicts.”

  7. “The Non-Aligned Movement deplores the consequences over the long term of such attacks on the civilian population and the health systems of the affected countries. Those attacks, which could constitute war crimes, must come to an end. Those responsible must face justice in order to break the cycle of impunity and send a clear and united message of zero tolerance. In that regard, during the 17th Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement, which took place in September 2016 on Margarita Island, Venezuela, the Heads of State and Governments condemned the increasing attacks on the safety of humanitarian personnel, and they called on the Governments of States Members of the United Nations to guarantee the protection of the personnel of humanitarian organizations, in accordance with the relevant international law and its humanitarian provisions.”

  8. “In the context of armed conflicts, we have seen how the human suffering of innocent civilians, trapped in the midst of the conflict, can be exacerbated by deliberate, indiscriminate and, in some cases, systematic attacks on the wounded and the sick, on health-care personnel and humanitarian personnel dedicated exclusively to medical missions, and on their means of transport and equipment, as well as on hospitals and other health institutions. That includes attacks perpetrated by non-State actors, all of which jeopardize the inviolability of those institutions under international law. The Non-Aligned Movement therefore emphatically condemns such acts of violence, attacks and threats.”

The world in which we live today faces many complex, new and emerging threats and challenges to international peace and security.
