Pakistan has called for peaceful resolution of conflicts and disputes in accordance with the U.N. Charter as part of the measures to protect medical care in situations of armed conflict. “Hospitals must heal, not become targets; doctors and nurses must be enrolled to save lives, not lose their own; and the wounded and sick must be protected, not deliberately attacked,” Pakistan delegate Saima Saleem told the UN Security Council meeting held under Arria-Formula format named after a former Venezuelan Ambassador to the UN, Diego Arriva.
Thursday’s meeting mark the tenth anniversary of the 15-member Council’s resolution 2286, which addressed the protection of the wounded and sick, medical and humanitarian personnel, and hospitals and other medical facilities in armed conflict.
