Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµU echoes calls for international humanitarian law and human rights law to be respected and upheld.

First and foremost, the United Nations University (Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµU) sides with peace. When peace fails, it is imperative that human rights are prioritized and protected. We echo the?: ¡°Even wars have rules. International humanitarian law and human rights law must be respected and upheld.¡±

All sides of this conflict must do everything possible to ensure that civilians¡¯ access to food, water, fuel, safe shelter and health care is not compromised or blocked.

Sustainable development is impossible without peace. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµU stands in solidarity with all Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ agencies, Member States and organizations in their continuing efforts to support civilians caught in this conflict.
