More surveillance, not less, is needed. We welcome Europe having a database of refugees, and are happy to provide technical assistance on how track and monitor thousands of people.

@AmnestyLon Clearly an end to the conflict would be preferable, and a ceasefire is insufficient to ensure the long term safety if health workers. We are relieved vulnerable populations will receive life saving vaccinations, we will continue to expose violations of human rights by members.
What a shame. HICs will send aidworkers, and protect them with a ceasefire, however when that breaks down from conflict THEY have funded...nothing.
What is the point of vaccine distribution if there are NO aidworkers?
Shameful

Delegates! Protect aidworkers!
Who pays the price for their death when the ceasefires break down? This is a shallow, unthinking resolution. It is NOT substantial!

The right to...
...control one’s health and body (for example, sexual and reproductive rights)
...be free of interference (for example, free from torture and non-consensual medical treatment)
...a health system that gives everyone an equal opportunity
#LonWHO2019
"The right to health is...inseparable or ‘indivisible’ from these other rights...achieving the right to health is both central to, and dependent upon, the realisation of other human rights, to food, housing, work, education, information, and participation"
