Statement by the Chairperson of the African Union Commission on the Occasion of World Humanitarian Day

The African Union Commission joins the world in marking World Humanitarian Day on 19 August 2018. This year, we are focusing global attention on the very essence of humanitarianism by highlighting protection of civilians.

In some places across the continent, parties to conflict target civilians and those who come to their aid in flagrant contravention of international humanitarian and human rights law. This must stop. It is callous and immoral. It is also inhumane and un-African. Civilians are #NotATarget!
