On the eve of the 32nd International Conference, the Movement adopted a “Message to the World Humanitarian Summit,” which sets out four areas of particular concern for the debates in Istanbul and which will serve as the organizing principles of this report:

  • Protect the dignity of every human being and improve humanitarian access to those in need;
  • Affirm the complementarity of local, national and international action;
  • Take the long view of people’s needs; and
  • Recognize and enable different humanitarian systems.
