UNITED NATIONS -- Head of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) on Monday asked the international community to protect principled humanitarian action in the context that the shape of conflict has undergone a rapid transformation in recent years.

"Throughout ICRC's operations, we see that neutral, independent and impartial humanitarian action has the best chance to reach those most in need. It is also a tried and tested formula to prevent humanitarian action being appropriated for larger and more controversial political agendas. Yet in many places across the world, the space for impartial humanitarian action is under threat," said ICRC President Peter Maurer. (UN-Humanitarian Law-ICRC)
