Resolution 2286 condemned attacks on medical c are and demanded that warring parties comply with their obligations under international humanitarian and human rights law. It called on warring part ies\, and States more broadly\, to develop effective measures to prevent a nd address attacks against medical care\, including ending impunity for vi olations of the law.\n\n>>REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT\n\nAs highlighted in the United Nations Secretary-General’s latest report on the protection of civ ilians in armed conflict\, five years on from the adoption of Resolution 2 286\, medical personnel\, their transports and facilities continue to come under attack in conflicts around the world. Doctors\, nurses and other me dical personnel are threatened\, abducted and killed. Ambulances\, hospita ls and clinics are damaged or destroyed\; the sick and wounded are denied access to care\, and force is used to interfere with healthcare and obstru ct access. This has catastrophic long-term consequences as health services are interrupted\, facilities close and workers flee\, depriving communiti es of medical services. And all this against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic which continues to have a devastating impact on conflict-affected countries and overwhelm healthcare systems\, many of which are already we ak.\n\nThis virtual panel event will take stock of the current state of th e protection of medical care in armed conflict. It will build upon discuss ions during this year’s Protection of Civilians Week (24-28 May)\, includi ng the Security Council open debate on the protection of civilians in arme d conflict\, in which protection of healthcare is expected to figure promi nently.\n\nPanelists will reflect on those diplomatic discussions\; they w ill discuss what is next for parties to conflict\, States\, and other rele vant actors in implementing the Secretary-General’s recommendations in his latest report\; what priorities can or should be set by the world’s diplo mats\; how barriers to the implementation of resolution 2286 might be over come\; and the effects of ongoing insecurity on the way humanitarian actor s deliver healthcare.\n\nHosted by 91ºÚÁÏÍø’s Centre for Internat ional Peace and Security and the Max Bell School of Public Policy\, the ev ent will bring together practitioners and scholars involved in humanitaria n healthcare delivery\, protection of civilians\, as well as government re presentatives.\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n Agnès Coutou\, ICRC Protection Coordinator \n Emily Scott\, Post-doctoral Fellow\, Centre for International Peace and Security Studies (91ºÚÁÏÍø)\n Aurelien Buffler\, UN Office for the Coordinati on of Humanitarian Affairs\, Chief of Policy Section\, Operations and Advo cacy Division\n Joe Belliveau\, President\, MSF Canada\n Leonard Rubenstein\ , Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition Chair\; Professor and Director of the Program on Human Rights and Health in Conflict at the Johns Hopkin s Bloomberg School of Public Health\n\n\nModerators\n\n\n Prof Jennifer Wel sh\, Canada 150 Research Chair in Global Governance and Security\; Directo r\, Centre for International Peace and Security Studies (91ºÚÁÏÍø)\n Simon Ba gshaw\, Research Affiliate\, Centre for International Peace and Security S tudies (91ºÚÁÏÍø)\; on leave from the UN Office for the Coordination of Huma nitarian Affairs\n\n DTSTART:20210610T153000Z DTEND:20210610T170000Z SUMMARY:Protecting Medical Care in Conflict: Five Years on from Security Co uncil Resolution 2286 URL:/maxbellschool/channels/event/protecting-medical-c are-conflict-five-years-security-council-resolution-2286-331206 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
