The Union Association for Human Rights recently held a seminar on the role of human rights mechanisms in the context of armed conflicts. The event, organized in collaboration with the Arab-European Human Rights Dialogue and various international organizations, highlighted the UAE’s commitment to humanitarian aid and its initiatives to ensure fundamental rights, such as life and health, for individuals affected by conflicts. Key initiatives include enhancing water and food security, developing hospitals, providing healthcare support, and offering treatment to the injured. The UAE has also collaborated with UNICEF and other UN bodies to support these efforts.
The UAE has actively supported Resolution 2720, which calls for increased humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza and protection of UN personnel and humanitarian workers during conflicts. The seminar advocated for the development of international mechanisms to protect civilians during conflicts, including ensuring adherence to international humanitarian law, granting immunity to humanitarian workers, establishing humanitarian ceasefires, and creating safe corridors for civilians to access essential services and livelihood support.
The seminar recommended the prohibition of military actions that endanger non-combatants, the importance of protecting civilian infrastructure and medical facilities, and reinforcing international accountability mechanisms for violations and crimes during armed conflicts. It also emphasized the need to enhance the role of NGOs in providing humanitarian aid during conflicts and the importance of collaboration between NGOs, governments, and international organizations to effectively address humanitarian challenges in conflict zones.
