The United Nations Secretary-General has called for the first ever World Humanitarian Summit: to reaffirm our commitment to humanity and chart a course for change.

Uphold the norms that safeguard humanity
Leave no one behind
Change people's lives – from delivering aid to ending need
Invest in humanity
