WORLD HUMANITARIAN SUMMIT - ISTANBUL, 23-24 MAY 2016
ABOUT THE WORLD HUMANITARIAN SUMMIT The first-ever World Humanitarian Summit, set to take place in Istanbul on 23-24 May 2016 hosted by Turkey, is a global call to action by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. Held at the highest level, the Summit will bring the global community together to reaffirm our solidarity with people affected by crises, and our collective commitment to humanity. In calling for the World Humanitarian Summit, the Secretary-General asked that the search for solutions to the growing challenges facing the humanitarian system be based on and informed by the experience of all relevant stakeholders. Over the course of eighteen months, a worldwide consultation process took place to gather the views of affected people, governments, civil society, humanitarian organizations, the private sector and other partners. The consultation reached more than 23,000 people in 153 countries making it the most comprehensive consultation on humanitarian action ever done. In Istanbul, global leaders from government, business, aid organizations, civil society, affected communities, faith-based organizations, international and national NGOs, academia, diaspora and youth will announce major commitments to action, launch new partnerships aimed at saving lives, and highlight innovations which help reduce suffering and uphold humanity in times of crisis.

SECURITY NOTE Threat levels in Istanbul are consistent with those of any large city in the region. The overall threat level in Turkey is assessed as “Low” by the United Nations security.In the last few months, there have been sporadic incidents of violence, but the general security situation is well under control. People visiting Istanbul are advised to stay in the circuits where security has been provided by the host country and avoid large gathering in public places, docks and secluded side streets. The government of Turkey has pledged abundant resources to mitigate risks. In particular, the conference site will be protected by numerous UN and host country security elements. Conference participants should follow all directions from both Turkish and UN Security while understanding that they have an individual responsibility to take care of their own security, and should refrain from activities that would increase their vulnerability.

ANNEX HIGH-LEVEL ROUNDTABLES – LIST Name
Description
Political Leadership to Prevent and End Conflicts
Conflict prevention and peaceful resolution are recognized as the most durable solutions for saving lives, reducing economic and social losses and reducing the need for humanitarian assistance, peacekeeping operations or post-conflict reconstruction. However, there remains a considerable gap between good intentions on conflict prevention and reality. The international community must provide stronger leadership in addressing the structural root causes of conflict, as well as strengthening tools, multidisciplinary conflict analysis and partnerships to prevent conflicts from beginning, escalating or re-emerging.
Date: 23 May Time: 11:30-13:30 Venue: ICC – B2 FLOOR (Special Events pass required)
Changing People’s Lives From Delivering Aid to Ending Need Date: 23 May Time: 11:30-13:30 Venue: ICC – B2 FLOOR (Special Events pass required)
Tens of millions of people live in acute humanitarian need. Many millions more are vulnerable to shocks including conflict and natural hazards. While the existing aid model brings relief and advancement to many, too many people face protracted and recurrent crises that leave them dependent on aid or at risk of additional shocks. The World Humanitarian Summit consultation process documented a widespread call for a “new way of working” that, as described in the Secretary-General’s report for the Summit, “moves beyond the comfort of traditional silos” to bring diverse actors together across mandates, sectors and institutional boundaries to achieve collective outcomes for people affected by crises.
PARTICIPANTS HANDBOOK • 31
WORLD HUMANITARIAN SUMMIT - ISTANBUL, 23-24 MAY 2016
...continuing
Humanitarians must deliver principled assistance and protection where it is needed. There is at the same time a shared moral imperative to prevent crises and sustainably reducing levels of humanitarian need. The new way of working and financing must deliver collective outcomes for crisis-affected people, over multiple years, based on comparative advantage. We must place people at the center in practice, by asking what it would take to reduce people’s risk and vulnerability and improve their development prospects, and then charting a course for collaboration with a diverse group of actors to achieve it.
Leaving No One Behind - A Commitment to Address Forced Displacement
At the end of 2014, the estimated number of internally displaced persons (IDPs), refugees and asylum-seekers fleeing persecution, violence and armed conflict had reached the historic height of 60 million. As crises become protracted so does displacement, with many unable to return home for decades. Addressing the impact of this reality on displaced individuals and families, as well as on their host communities and countries is not only a humanitarian challenge; it is also a complex political and development one. To ensure that forcibly displaced people have safety and dignity, and the opportunity to thrive, a fundamental shift is needed by States and the international community that goes from not only meeting humanitarian needs to an approach that improves the lives and self-reliance of displaced persons and contributes to the development of their host communities.

Uphold the Norms that Safeguard Humanity Date: 24 May Time: 9:00-11:00 Venue: ICC – B2 FLOOR (Special Events pass required)
Significant improvements to the mobilisation, allocation, and use of resources necessary to preserve life and dignity are urgently needed for people affected by conflict and disasters. All stakeholders must act with much greater urgency, coherence and solidarity to better meet the needs of the 125 million people affected by humanitarian crises today. At the same time, all stakeholders must invest more to reduce the risks and manage the impact of humanitarian crises on affected people, while aiming to address the differentiated needs, vulnerabilities and capabilities of women, girls, boys and men affected. International humanitarian law, international human rights law, and refugee law, where applicable, remain as relevant as ever to provide protection to civilians, the humanitarian and medical missions, and persons hors de combat in armed conflict. All have a responsibility to fulfil in improving the situation of civilians in armed conflict by ensuring and enhancing compliance with and accountability for violations of international humanitarian and applicable human rights law. We must seize the World Humanitarian Summit to take action to spare civilians from the effects of hostilities, enable humanitarian access, identify and speak out about violations and abuses, and give full effect to the norms that safeguard our humanity. The five core commitments for this Roundtable aim to enhance the practical implementation of relevant obligations and strengthen the protection of civilians through concrete measures; they do not restate or modify existing obligations or create new ones.

Women and Girls - Catalyzing Action to Achieve Gender Equality Date: 24 May Time: 11:30-13:30 Venue: ICC – B2 FLOOR (Special Events pass required)
Typhoons, floods, droughts, earthquakes and other natural hazards cause massive loss of life and livelihoods. Climate change, rapid and unplanned urbanization and other trends will increase the frequency and intensity of these disasters. A different approach is required urgently. There is a need to anticipate and act early on identified risks. There is a need to reinforce, rather than replace national and local leadership and delivery systems, so they are ready to respond rapidly. Current fragmentation in managing risk should shift to systematic, collective and longer-term approaches. While women, girls, men, and boys all suffer in a crisis, women and girls face greater obstacles to leading safe, healthy, and dignified lives due to structural gender inequalities. Funding also fails to support women and girls and to recognize them as equal partners. This roundtable will enable all stakeholders to support defined, coordinated strategic initiatives to achieve gender equality, women’s empowerment and women’s meaningful participation in humanitarian action, in alignment with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, the Sustainable Development Goals and Security Council Resolution 2242.

2. SPECIAL SESSIONS - LIST Name
Description
Religious Engagement: The Contributions of Faith Communities to our Shared Humanity
Many religious institutions and faith-based NGOs have a unique comparative advantage in humanitarian contexts: they have an established relationship of trust and familiarity with most local communities in which they are embedded. Due to their presence before a crisis they are first responders and key providers of assistance and protection during crises, and they will stay after international organizations leave. This Special Session will seek concrete commitments from religious leaders and other humanitarian actors to increase the impact of faith-based actors in reducing humanitarian need and suffering, and their inclusion within policy- and decision-making at all levels of humanitarian response.
Date: 23 May Time: 16:00-17:00 Venue: ICC – B2 FLOOR (Special Events pass required)
Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities into Humanitarian Action Date: 23 May Time: 16:00-17:00 Venue: ICC – B2 FLOOR
The one billion persons with disabilities worldwide are among the most marginalized in crisis-affected communities. They are often unable to access appropriate basic assistance, including water, shelter, food, health or education and are rarely included in decision-making processes. This Special Session will focus on global political commitments and concrete actions to allow persons with disabilities to be better consulted and integrated into all phases of humanitarian action.

Migrants and Humanitarian Action Date: 23 May Time: 16:00-17:00 Venue: ICC – B2 FLOOR (Special Events pass required)
More than one in six – or an estimated 80 million – children and adolescents of school-age are in the most desperate need of educational support in 35 crisis-affected countries. 16 million of these children and adolescents are school-age refugees, internally displaced, and other populations of concern. Some live in refugee camps while others are in host communities. Despite both parents and children identifying education as one of their highest priority needs, less than two percent of all humanitarian funding has gone to education. The Special Session will launch the Education Crisis platform and produce commitments and actions as part of global efforts to prioritise education in emergencies and protracted crisis The needs and rights of all affected people must be incorporated into humanitarian response. To this end, as highlighted in the Secretary General’s Agenda for Humanity, the specific vulnerabilities of migrants must also be considered in humanitarian response. The past few years have been marked by numerous tragic instances of migrants losing their lives at sea and while crossing deserts. They have been subjected to hunger, abuse, trafficking and have been stranded in areas of conflicts. In the lead up to the UN General Assembly’s September 2016 Summit on Large Scale Movements of Refugees and Migrants, this Special Session on Migrants and Humanitarian Action will focus on ways in which the humanitarian community can better address the protection and assistance needs of vulnerable migrants.

Regional inter-governmental organizations from around the world are playing an increasingly visible role in humanitarian action in a variety of crises, ranging from natural disasters and conflicts through to epidemics such as Ebola. This Special Session will officially launch a network of regional organisations involved in humanitarian action. It proposes specific commitments towards strengthening the role of regional organizations in support of the Agenda for Humanity. Crisis-related health threats are at an all-time high and do not respect national borders. These include biological hazards that cause public health emergencies; the continuing challenge of maintaining the health of people forcibly displaced by conflicts or trying to cope with disasters; and the increasing violence against health workers. Preserving and protecting health is always a primary goal of humanitarian action. It needs stronger collective efforts through building national capacities, making health emergency responses more reliable, bridging the humanitarian-development nexus in healthcare delivery, and reducing violence against health workers and facilities. Every year, Muslims worldwide donate generously to Islamic social finance mechanisms to alleviate human suffering. Currently the Islamic Finance industry’s assets are estimated to be worth USD 2 trillion. This Special Session will acknowledge the vital contribution of Islamic social financing mechanisms to alleviating human suffering and explore the role of new and emerging donors from faithbased funding, specifically from Islamic Social Finance, in humanitarian action.

Humanitarian Principles Date: 24 May Time: 11:30-12:30 Venue: ICC – B2 FLOOR
Urbanisation, climate change and conflict make humanitarian crises increasingly urban phenomena. Yet urban areas also offer hope in the face of crises: the majority of internally displaced people and refugees seek sanctuary in towns and cities, and their populations, institutions and infrastructure provide opportunities to respond differently to humanitarian emergencies. The Global Alliance for Urban Crises brings together local governments, humanitarian, development, and urban actors in an innovative partnership that will render urban responses more appropriate, effective and sustainable. This will be reflected in a concrete set of actions to help deliver on the Agenda for Humanity in urban areas so as to ‘Leave No City Behind’. The Special Session will also set humanitarian priorities for Habitat III. The WHS consultation process has unequivocally reaffirmed the critical relevance of the humanitarian principles of humanity, impartiality, neutrality and independence. This Special session will result in a series of concrete commitments on how to respect and apply those principles, as a major contribution towards the Agenda for Humanity.

The session will seek concrete policy, operational and financial commitments from leaders on the programmatic, policy and financial measures needed to respond to the specific needs of young people.
There was a strong call from the World Humanitarian Summit consultations for all humanitarian action to put affected people at the heart of humanitarian action. Affected people and communities need to be recognized as the primary agents of response. This Special Session will focus on commitments that will mark a major shift in humanitarian action to truly empower affected people as the driving force of any humanitarian response.
