The necessity and limitations of humanitarian neutrality - Humanitarian cafe
Find a report of the Humanitarian Cafe here.
April 2024 is from a humanitarian perspective a month of sorrow and reflection. April 7th will mark six months of war in Gaza. By 15 April, the armed conflict will have been waging in Sudan for a year. Finally, the war in Ukraine has dragged on for more than two years next month.
Sudan, Ukraine, Gaza: three intense conflicts, that started fairly recently and have and continue to cause enormous suffering among civilians. In these conflicts, humanitarian aid has been constrained in its ability to address pressing needs and alleviate suffering of civilians in complex and highly politicised situations. What can these conflicts tell us about humanitarian neutrality?

The Kick off by Sophie will be followed by an open discussion facilitated by Peter Heintze of KUNO.
After that there will be plenty of time for drinks, bites and networking.
