On August 19, 2022, World Humanitarian Day will be celebrated. This day commemorates the anniversary of the adoption of the Geneva Conventions, which outline international humanitarian law.
Established by the UN in 2009, this day commemorates the anniversary of the bombing of the United Nations headquarters in Iraq. 22 people lost their lives, including the UN’s High Commissioner for Human Rights.
Since its inception, World Humanitarian Day has been used to raise awareness of humanitarian issues and to call for action to address them. In recent years, the day has also been used as a platform for promoting dialogue between humanitarian organizations and the United Nations system.
