Poland participates in the first-ever World Humanitarian Summit

For the first time in the 70-year history of the United Nations, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has convened the World Humanitarian Summit, which set to take place in Istanbul on May 23-24. Poland's Prime Minister Beata Szydło has announced she will attend this summit. The World Humanitarian Summit will be held at the highest political level possible, including Heads of States or Government. The Summit will include approximately 5,000 participants representing global leaders from government, business, aid organizations, civil society, affected communities and youth, including 45 world leaders, 80 governments, and 250 representatives of civil society organisations and the private sector. "The world will come together to make commitments and announce bold actions in support of the five core responsibilities of the Agenda for Humanity: prevent and end conflict, respect the rules of war, leave no one behind, working differently to end need, and invest in Humanity," the United Nations stated.
