  • Ursula von der Leyen
    Ursula von der Leyen “I am following the situation in Georgia with great concern and condemn the violence on the streets of Tbilisi. The European Union has also clearly expressed its concerns regarding the law on foreign influence. The Georgian people want a European future for their country.” 12 hours ago
  • Oleksandr Kozachenko
    Oleksandr Kozachenko “If we compare it with the beginning (of the Russian invasion), when we fired up to 100 shells a day, then now, when we fire 30 shells it's a luxury. Sometimes the number of shells fired daily is in single digits.” 12 hours ago
  • Abdallah al-Dardari
    Abdallah al-Dardari “The United Nations Development Programme's initial estimates for the reconstruction of … the Gaza Strip surpasses $30bn and could reach up to $40bn. The scale of the destruction is huge and unprecedented … this is a mission that the global community has not dealt with since World War II.” 12 hours ago

“To begin with, under international law, humanitarian assistance can't be held hostage to political or military negotiations. All parties have an obligation under international humanitarian law to provide unimpeded access to those in need. There's also no explanation for why the government isn't lifting the blockade on telecom, electricity and banking services. These would alleviate a great deal of the suffering, especially for the working class who can't access their own savings to buy whatever is available in the local market.”

“North Korea is trying to lay a trap for the Biden administration. It has queued up missiles that it wants to test anyway and is responding to US pressure with additional provocations in an effort to extort concessions. North Korea should be offered humanitarian assistance once it is willing to diplomatically reengage. But its threats should not be rewarded with international recognition or sanctions relief.”

“The United States is the largest single provider of humanitarian assistance in Afghanistan. We are committed to supporting the people of Afghanistan, which is why Treasury is taking these additional steps to facilitate assistance.”

“There are a number of reasons why these reserves remain inaccessible. First and foremost, the status of the funds is the subject of ongoing litigation, brought by certain victims of 9/11 and other terrorist attacks to hold judgments against the Taliban. These legal proceedings cannot be disregarded and have led to the temporary suspension of any movement of the funds through at least the end of the year and quite possibly longer. Second, the United States continues to face difficult fundamental questions about how it might be able to make reserve funds available to directly benefit the people of Afghanistan while ensuring that the funds do not benefit the Taliban. And, obviously, our objective as one of the world's biggest providers of humanitarian assistance is to get that assistance directly to the people. It is difficult to determine how that would not go through - would not benefit the Taliban as it relates to these funds. Third, the Taliban remain sanctioned by the United States as a specially designated global terrorist group, and a number of its officials are subject to the UN - UNSCR's 1988 sanctions regime. This raises immediate red flags for many states' central banks and the financial community more generally when considering any transactions.”

“We'd like to see the parties come together at the table to put in place the cessation of hostilities. We need to see humanitarian assistance flow freely now. We need to see people detained released and we need to see everyone engaging in an effort to resolve the differences that exist peacefully and constitutionally. The bottom line is that there is no military solution to this conflict. Every party has to recognise that and act accordingly. With regard to atrocities, we have deep concern about that as we have over the past many months. It is something that we are looking at very closely, very carefully, and making determinations as we go along.”

“The conditions in the forests between Poland and Belarus are very harsh, it's an environment where there is very little access to food and water and no access to warm shelter. These are people who are deprived of basic humanitarian assistance. Belarus is responsible for providing these people assistance, and for first of all not using them as political tools to exert pressure on the EU, but also on the other side, Poland … is also obliged to provide these people assistance.”

“U.S. Special Representative for North Korea Policy Sung Kim's recent remarks that the United States would provide humanitarian assistance to North Korea regardless of progress in denuclearization is a good first step, but more is needed. There is a total absence of trust between the two countries; North Korea will not accept any aid that is linked to the United States because it believes Washington will politicize it. Yet during this time of a pandemic, humanitarian work can be a powerful tool for trust-building and generate goodwill at the people-to-people level.”

“It is impossible to provide humanitarian assistance inside Afghanistan without engaging with the de facto authorities. The financial system at the moment is extremely limited, which means that a number of basic economic functions cannot be delivered. After decades of war, suffering and insecurity, Afghans are facing perhaps their most perilous hour. The people of Afghanistan need a lifeline. Let us be clear: This conference is not simply about what we will give to the people of Afghanistan. It is about what we owe.”

“The common view of the international community is that the end of military intervention by the United States and its allies should be the beginning of them assuming their responsibilities. They are more obligated than any other country to provide economic, livelihood and humanitarian assistance to the Afghan people, and help Afghanistan maintain stability, prevent chaos and move toward sound development on the premise of respecting the sovereignty and independence of Afghanistan.”

“The US administration firmly maintains a forward-looking, creative and flexible stance to restart dialogue with North Korea and make progress. South Korea and the US have been holding discussions on humanitarian assistance for the North in that context. I could confirm that the US government continues to recognize the urgency of the North Korean nuclear issue even in the midst of rapidly changing international political conditions and will continue to address the North Korean nuclear issue as a first-priority challenge.”

“What is different from the previous U.S. stance is that Sung Kim talked about the U.S. support for inter-Korean humanitarian aid in more detail. Although it did not mean that the U.S. will fully roll up its sleeves for the humanitarian assistance, he showed the U.S.'s determination toward South Korea helping its northern neighbor in humanitarian aid.”
