UNITED NATIONS Authentic Wes Schweitzer Jersey , Feb. 9 (Xinhua) -- UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon on Tuesday said that the world is facing profound, urgent and growing global challenges in rendering humanitarian assistance.


""The urgency of these challenges and the scale of the suffering mean we must accept our shared responsibilities and act decisively, with compassion and resolve,"" he said.


The statement came as the secretary-general was briefing the UN General Assembly on his new report ""One Humanity: Shared Responsibility.""


The report was launched in preparation for the World Humanitarian Summit, which will take place in Istanbul, Turkey, on May 23-24. It sets out the secretary-general's ambitions for the global community to address humanitarian crises in a more holistic and efficient manner.

""We need to restore trust in our global world order and in the capacities of our national and regional institutions to confront these challenges effectively,"" said Ban.

""The World Humanitarian Summit is the moment for us to come together to renew our commitment to humanity and the unity and cooperation required to prevent and end crisis and reduce people suffering,"" Ban said.
