Book excerpt: The World Humanitarian Summit (WHS) in May 2016 will be the culmination of a global consultation process. The three-year initiative responds to the need to adapt the humanitarian system in order to make humanitarian action more efficient and effective in keeping pace with the rapidly changing context of emergencies. Consultations leading up to the Summit have provided the opportunity to gain perspectives from different regions of the world. As a result, three main priorities have been highlighted: the need for humanitarians to protect and preserve the dignity of people affected by conflict and disaster; a call to find innovative and sustainable ways of meeting people's needs; and a demand from the global South to 'localise' humanitarian response by strengthening local, national and regional capacities to prevent, manage and respond to crisis. There is potential for the European Union (EU) to take a leadership role in the process and influence the WHS outcome. ECHO's new need assessment tools and the Linking Relief Rehabilitation and Development (LRRD) as well as Resilience approaches offer a framework for responding to the challenges posed by protracted crises. This study recommends that the European Consensus on Humanitarian Aid should be applied as a model for a 'Global Consensus on Humanitarian Action' or a 'Global Compact' recognising the diversity of today's humanitarian response system while taking advantage of all actors' complementary role. Furthermore, the EU and member states must commit to placing protection at the centre of humanitarian action and ensure that the EU's humanitarian aid is not regarded as a crisis management tool, and allowed to become an instrument of its foreign policy.

Book excerpt: Poverty eradication is, and will remain, the primary objective of our development policy. But to get there, we have to fully integrate the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development, and strengthen the links to other policies - including those on peace and security, humanitarian aid, migration and climate - making sure they take account of developmental concerns. We need an equally comprehensive approach to implementation, combining traditional development assistance with other resources - public and private - supported by sound policies. This is the essence of our new European Consensus on Development, which will henceforth frame all our development activities at European and national level.
Download or read book Evaluation of European Union s Humanitarian Assistance in Syria 2016 2018 written by and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overall purpose of this evaluation was to provide an external, impartial and independent evidence-based assessment of performance of the DG ECHO's portfolio of funded actions in Syria over the HIP period 2016-2018. It focused on humanitarian actions in Syria, taking account of the shifting territorial control during the period under evaluation, and the efforts to address restricted humanitarian access. The scope of the evaluation covered interventions implemented under the HIPs for 2016 to 2018. This evaluation sought to understand the extent to which support provided by DG ECHO contributed to meeting the needs of the most vulnerable groups caught up in ongoing conflict inside Syria, and covered actions in the areas of protection, food, basic needs, education, healthcare, cash transfers, shelter, water, sanitation & hygiene (WASH), as well as in the areas of coordination, support to operations and logistics. DG ECHO's humanitarian assistance is coordinated under the Whole of Syria (WoS) approach, with operational hubs in Amman, Beirut, Gaziantep and Erbil. DG ECHO's humanitarian actions are founded on the European Consensus on Humanitarian Aid ("Consensus") which emphasises commitment to the fundamental principles of humanitarian aid and the respect of International Humanitarian Law (IHL). It provides clear definitions of the humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence. The evaluation therefore has an accountability function, based on Article 18 of the Council regulation, to verify that DG ECHO supported humanitarian actions in the complex context of Syria were in accordance with humanitarian principles and DG ECHO's thematic policies. There is also a learning function to gain insights and draw lessons for the future.

Download or read book Research Handbook on the EU s Common Foreign and Security Policy written by Steven Blockmans and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2018 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In times of rapid change and unpredictability the European Union’s role in the world is sorely tested. How successfully the EU meets challenges such as war, terrorism and climate change, and how effectively the Union taps into opportunities like mobility and technological progress depends to a great extent on the ability of the EU’s institutions and member states to adopt and implement a comprehensive and integrated approach to external action. This Research Handbook examines the law, policy and practice of the EU’s Common Foreign and Security Policy, including the Common Security and Defence, and gauges its interactions with the other external policies of the Union (including trade, development, energy), as well as the evolving political and economic challenges that face the European Union.

Book excerpt: This book includes contributions from academics, practitioners and policy-makers connected with the Network on Humanitarian Action (NOHA), an international association of universities that is committed to interdisciplinary education and research on humanitarian action. Celebrating the twentieth anniversary of NOHA, this book highlights some of the most pressing issues and challenges facing humanitarian action and explores potential solutions. Drawing on theory and practice, and spanning a broad range of subject matter, the book explores the origin of key concepts such as human security, reconciliation and resilience and questions their effectiveness in the pursuit of humanitarian ends. It also charts current developments in the humanitarian system, in particular in its legal and financial frameworks. Issues relating to humanitarian stakeholders, such as the role of the media and the protection of humanitarian workers, are also addressed. The contributions are influenced by a range of disciplines, including anthropology, political science, legal studies and communications.
Download or read book EU Management of Global Emergencies written by Inge Govaere and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2014-06-19 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EU Management of Global Emergencies: Legal Framework for Combating Threats and Crises provides a thorough analysis of the role played by the European Union (EU) in combating some of the global emergencies that currently affect, or are likely to affect, our planet. In particular, the potential of a “regional” model for coping with such emergencies is examined, taking into account the perceived inefficacy of traditional prevention and reaction mechanisms provided both by individual States and international organisations. The expression “global emergencies” refers to all situations, irrespective of the subject matter involved, which are characterised by an unexpected state of crisis which affects one or more regions of the world and call for an urgent and coordinated response from competent bodies and institutions. Furthermore, the book tests the role of the EU in managing global emergencies with respect to four broad areas: the economic and financial crises, the protection of the environment, terrorism and humanitarian aid, while maintaining focus on the legal framework within which the EU deals with such global emergencies in the light of the innovations brought about by the Lisbon Treaty. With contributions by leading experts in each of the identified set of challenges, EU Management of Global Emergencies: Legal Framework for Combating Threats and Crises aims at increasing the understanding of : (a) the contribution of regional organizations such as the EU to the management of global emergencies; (b) the effectiveness of the EU external action and the actual involvement of the EU in global cooperation processes against global emergencies; (c) global standards of human rights protection in relation to measures adopted in crises; and (d) the coordination mechanisms between the EU and other international organisations with a global or regional membership, in the management of global emergencies.
Download or read book The European Union and Humanitarian Crises written by Francesca Pusterla and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last few decades international organisations, national governments, and governmental and private actors have all multiplied their efforts to limit the extent to which natural catastrophes, man-made atrocities and political and economic breakdowns affect civil populations. The European Union and Humanitarian Crises: Patterns of Intervention addresses the allocation of foreign aid within the framework of the European Union’s Humanitarian Aid policy and analyses different Member States’ intervention strategies designed to cope with these emergencies. Joining the debate about bilateral and multilateral allocation of foreign aid in crisis situations and exploring the cooperative actions undertaken by the European Union and its Member States to cope with them the book questions how the context of the crises themselves impacts on strategies of intervention and investigates how strategies change depending on the characteristics of the crisis.
