💶Self-Interest at the Cost of Human Development? 🇪🇺 The leaked EU briefing book on DG INTPA priorities raises serious concerns and could undermine SDGs and key human rights. EU-CORD calls for a balanced approach centred on social justice, sustainability, and shared values.

⚠️The world is failing humanitarian workers and the people they serve. In 2023, attacks on aid workers reached an all-time high. It’s time for Member States to #ActForHumanity and uphold their obligations under International Humanitarian Law. #WHD2024 #NotATarget

🔴Conflict, climate change, hunger, displacement… Humanitarian needs have never been greater. NGOs and their partners are on the ground, equipped with the expertise and dedication to provide life-saving support. Member States must #ActForHumanity and ensure their protection!
