Donor and Recipient countries and progress of appeals Humanitarian aid worldwide until mid-2022

Map of the Month 08/2022

As of August 19, the World Humanitarian Day, only 33% of the required funding for 2022 has been received, which is channeled through UN agencies, funds, NGOs and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. The U.S. is by far the largest donor with over 10 billion USD, followed by the European Commission and Germany. China contributes 0.008% of the U.S. amount. With 2.9 billion USD, Ukraine is currently the largest recipient, far ahead of Afghanistan, Yemen, Ethiopia, Somalia or Syria.

Key votes and joint statements at the 50th UN Human Rights Council

Map of the Month 07/2022

The 50th UN Human Rights Council convened in Geneva from 13 June to 8 July. The impact of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine was one of the main topics in the debates. Amongst others, the EU delivered a joint statement on food security. The increasing restrictions and repression of human rights and fundamental freedoms in Russia, especially since Russia’s repeated illegal invasion of Ukraine were also addressed. The situation in China was in focus as well and the prompt release of the report on Xinjiang was demanded. In addition, gender was one of the central issues. An urgent debate on women's rights in Afghanistan was held and numerous resolutions were adopted, including one on the extension of the mandate of the independent expert on protection against violence and discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. The mandate of the Special Rapporteur on Belarus was also extended.

Joint Statements on human rights situation in China at the 50th UN Human Rights Council

Map of the Month 06/2022

At the beginning of the 50th UN Human Rights Council, the Netherlands delivered a cross-regional joint statement (JST) on behalf of 46 other states in which they expressed their grave concern about the human rights situation in China, particularly in Xinjiang. This comes in the context of the publication of the Xinjiang Police Files and the recent visit of UN High Commissioner Bachelet to China. Cuba on the other hand opposed any politicisation, double standards or interference in China's internal affairs in the name of 69 states.

Proposals about the WTO Working Programme on Electronic Commerce (incl. "E-Commerce Moratorium")

Map of the Month 06/2022

The Work Programme on Electronic Commerce was adopted at the second WTO Ministerial Conference in 1998. Members agreed not to impose tariffs on electronic transmissions for the time being ("E-Commerce Moratorium"). This exemption has been extended at all subsequent WTO Ministerial Conferences so far. An extension of the Moratorium during the 12th Ministerial Conference cannot be taken for granted.
