During my activities in the field of parliamentary diplomacy, I have coordinated the organization of missions on the ground in Syria and Lebanon in the context of the Syria crisis, in collaboration with the UN humanitarian agencies mobilized in these countries. The main objective of these missions was to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian assistance and the unimpeded access of international and local aid workers to the affected population, as well as to support the actions undertaken by principled humanitarian entities to protect the fast-growing number of IDPs and refugees in the region. In this sensitive climate and volatile environment, it was crucial to demonstrate full neutrality towards the authorities and the ANSAs to be able to advocate impartially for a better access to the populations in need. Furthermore, I would say that a very challenging situation with regard to the operationalisation of the humanitarian principles was the public communication which followed the field mission. Indeed, notably in the cases of conflicts where the international community is divided, it is very important to ensure a clear communication to bring awareness to the most urgent needs of the civilians and advocate for the strengthening of humanitarian efforts to address their suffering, and avoid contradictions and variations which can create confusion and ultimately hamper the unhindered access of independent humanitarian actors.
