On 20 April 2021, ECOSOC agreed (E/2021/L.14) that the theme for the 2021 ECOSOC Humanitarian Affairs Segment (HAS) will be “Strengthening humanitarian assistance to face the challenges of 2021 and beyond: mobilizing respect for international humanitarian law, inclusion, gender, innovation and partnerships.” The 2021 HAS will be held from 23 to 25 June in a hybrid format. Since 1998, the Segment has been an essential platform for discussing issues related to strengthening the coordination and effectiveness of the humanitarian assistance of the United Nations, including assessing progress and identifying emerging issues, obstacles and challenges.
