Many are subjected to sexual and gender-based violence and starvation as a weapon of war, and denied access to health, water, sanitation and shelter. It is shocking that in the 21st century, we need to remember that all human life has universal value, regardless of nationality, ethnic background, gender, religion or other identity \u2013 and that all human lives are equal \u2013 wherever they may live.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0As we know, International Humanitarian Law and humanitarian principles of humanity, impartiality, neutrality and independence are at the very heart of Geneva conventions. Yet, we see double standards and unequal application and respect of IHL and other laws in different crises &#8211; by states, including G7 members, with geopolitical interests placed before people\u2019s lives and dignity<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, <strong>civilians are being killed, displaced, and driven to starvation<\/strong> while violence is carried out with impunity. Weapons supplied by states, including G7 members, are used indiscriminately, targeting civilians and humanitarian workers. Meanwhile, climate and political inaction exacerbates hunger and famine and forces people into desperate situations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this context, the <strong>lack of respect for humanitarian principles<\/strong>, the <strong>political instrumentalisation of humanitarian aid<\/strong>,<strong> non-compliance with international standards and laws<\/strong>, and the growing challenges faced by civil society organisations in providing effective assistance are critical issues. These concerns are at the heart of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/civil7.org\/wpC7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/C7-Communique_2024.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Communiqu\u00e9<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> produced by the C7 Working Group on Principled Humanitarian Assistance and submitted to the G7 Leaders to urge the governments of the powerful Group of Seven to make decisions that improve the lives of people everywhere and promote a sustainable and secure environment for all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">INTERSOS calls on the G7 leaders to firmly and clearly place <strong>humanity and the right to a dignified life<\/strong> back at the centre of the multilateral humanitarian agenda, to reaffirm their <strong>commitment to International Humanitarian Law<\/strong>, and to increase predictable, flexible and unearmarked multi-year humanitarian funding.
