Attacks on UN Personnel - Security Council Briefing | United Nations

Briefing by Gilles Michaud, Under-Secretary-General for Safety and Security, on the safety and security of humanitarian personnel and the protection of United Nations and associated personnel. Michaud noted, “Regrettably, all these perpetrators are rarely held accountable. They are rarely named and shamed, let alone prosecuted.” He highlighted, “This is not the right forum to describe the range of measures we have implemented to keep colleagues safe. But it is the right place and time to tell you: we have stretched the security system to its limit.” Michaud said, “We ask you to take real, consequential measures against anyone, any party, any group, any Member State that compromises the safety and security of women and men whose work saves lives.” He also said, “We ask you to invest, politically, financially, legally, in the safety and security of these women and men, the one noble cause that should unite us all.”
