The Limits of Humanitarian Assistance in Contested Regimes: A Discussion with Former Assistant Secretary General of the UN

World leaders and humanitarians alike struggle over how to support affected populations caught up in conflicts where the legitimacy of the governing authorities is contested. From Syria, to Afghanistan, to Myanmar and beyond, traditional forms of humanitarian aid have demonstrated their limits in terms of reaching people in need. In some cases, aid has actually served to support illegitimate or murderous regimes and has prolonged their survival. In others, failure to adequately characterize crimes committed has led to impunity for perpetrators. Join HRHP’s discussion with former Assistant Secretary General of the UN, Charles Petrie, in person on October 4th. There are 50 first-come, first-served seats available for the in-person discussion in Room 405, where a light lunch will be provided. The event will also be live-streamed at the Zoom link below.
