Ireland: Solution to Darfur famine lies in respect for humanitarian law

October 19, 2024 (PEN) The spokesperson for Ireland, during an interactive dialogue of the Third Committee of the United Nations, expressed his deep concern about the recent declaration of famine in Darfur, considering that this crisis is the result of the ongoing conflict and the deliberate denial of humanitarian access.

The spokesman stressed that the only solution to break the vicious cycle between conflict and hunger is "full respect for international humanitarian law," which allows humanitarian aid to reach those in need.
