May 2026 marks 10 years since UNSC Resolution 2286 - protecting healthcare in armed conflict. 🇳🇿 is proud to have co-led this landmark effort with Egypt, Japan, Spain, & Uruguay in 2016.
The resolution was historic, the first of its kind on this issue & supported by over 80 countries - making it one of the most widely co-sponsored UNSC resolutions.
Yet attacks on medical workers & facilities continue. This is unacceptable. Protecting healthcare is not optional. This resolution matters as much today as it did in 2016.
MFAT teams in New York & Geneva will be marking the moment @NZUN@NZUNGVA
