Panel sessions
The EHF 2024 panel sessions will consist of moderated discussions among the wider humanitarian- development community, including EU institutions, EU Member States, third countries, partner organisations, local humanitarian actors, UN agencies, the Red Cross/Red Crescent family and academics.
Humanitarian Talks
Humanitarian Talks provide a space for discussion running in parallel with the EHF panels and an opportunity for focused exchange on concrete deliverables as well as on more specific humanitarian issues and crises that will not be addressed in the EHF24 panel sessions.
Humanitarian Talks complement the EHF programme with hands-on discussions, which reinforce the
“concrete delivery” aspect of the Forum. Proposed and led by partners and Member States, they offer an
alternative platform for humanitarian stakeholders to contribute and thematically complement the core
agenda of the event.
The Talks will showcase initiatives and discussions driven by partners, Member States and practitioners.
Recorded Humanitarian Talk, Organised by : Plan International
This panel addresses the current state of global IHL compliance and discusses the use of principled humanitarian diplomacy that is both evidence-based and impartial. Moreover, it will draw attention to the need for credible and impartial evidence on IHL compliance in conflict areas worldwide, the role of duty bearers, the international community and local actors in using such information for advocacy on the protection of civilians, and the importance for impacted communities to shape the narrative on their protection. To this end, the panel will launch and showcase initiatives that support the monitoring and analysis of violations of IHL and promote humanitarian advocacy on the protection of civilians.
The session is moderated by Vaios Koutroulis.
