United Nations as a Humanitarian Organisation: to be or not to be? : policy brief / Anna Osypchuk, Anton Suslov ; School for Policy Analysis NaUKMA. - Kyiv : [s. n.], 2022. - 4 p.https://ekmair.ukma.edu.ua/handle/123456789/24791The news of the International Committee of the Red Cross opening an office in Rostov-on-Don (Russia) has caused a vigorous discussion within Ukrainian society on the role of international organisations in coping with the humanitarian challenges generated by the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022. Already, there are voices questioning the effectiveness and adequacy of such a response, particularly regarding the United Nations’ humanitarian organisations1. Within the UN as an umbrella institution, several humanitarian institutions such as OCHA, WHO, IOM, UNICEF, etc. are presumed to aid in humanitarian crises. Many of them launched their programs after Russia had occupied part of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts and Crimea in 2014. So, where are they now and what is their response?enUnited Nationshumanitarian organisationssecurity issuestemporally occupied territoriespolicy briefOther
