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
Humanitarian exemptions enable the legitimate delivery of humanitarian assistance while ensuring the effective implementation of restrictive measures.
UNSCR 2664 (2022) introduced a standing humanitarian exemption from asset freeze measures in UN sanctions regimes and represented a milestone in this discussion. The EU has already transposed humanitarian exemptions in line with UNSCR 2664 into several regimes.
This session aims to assess the progress made, scrutinise upcoming challenges, and explore ways to enhance implementation. What steps should be taken next, and how can we actively promote successful implementation?
The session is moderated by Kathryn Striffolino.
