Obaseki, who gave this charge, yesterday, in Benin, during commemoration of the World Humanitarian Day, decried growing disregard for international conventions and rules of engagements that protect women, children, civilians and aid workers by parties to conflicts…

The scale of attacks on humanitarian workers is disheartening.

Leaders across the world and development actors must rise and defend individuals and groups, who volunteer their skills, expertise and other resources to support vulnerable groups.
