History

Historical Context

In 1991, the United Nations adopted Resolution 46/182, establishing core humanitarian principles, including neutrality and impartiality, to guide aid in conflict zones. This framework is crucial as seen in the ongoing Ukraine conflict, where violations, such as the recent attack on a WFP warehouse in Dnipro, threaten humanitarian efforts. The resolution underscores the need for stronger enforcement of international humanitarian law.
