This measure addresses the alarming rise in assaults on aid workers, highlighted by the unprecedented death toll of over 190 U.N. staff in Gaza’s seven-month conflict. The resolution, coinciding with the 75th anniversary of the Geneva Conventions, emphasizes the importance of safeguarding those aiding conflict-affected populations. It calls for respecting humanitarian principles, ensuring unimpeded access to aid, and combating disinformation.
