David Miliband, President and CEO of the International Rescue Committee and Harlem Désir, Senior Vice-President Europe, were delighted to meet the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, on September 5 2022 in Paris.

For almost 90 years, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) has been responding to the world’s worst humanitarian crises. When a new crisis strikes, the IRC’s emergency team swiftly activates to determine the most effective way to reach people in need.

With conflict remaining the primary driver of humanitarian need in far too many places, wars are increasingly fought with disregard for international law - with civilians bearing the brunt.
