Tom Fletcher's appointment as UN coordinator for humanitarian affairs has sparked controversy amid calls for a more diverse and competitive selection process not dominated by the UK.
Over 60 notable diplomats and humanitarian advocates urged that the role should not be restricted to one member state, emphasizing the need for innovation in crisis response globally.
Former humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths argued that favoritism in such crucial roles undermines efforts, stressing that humanitarian appointments must be transparent and reflect the global south representation.
With humanitarian crises escalating worldwide, support systems must expand significantly, as highlighted by Gordon Brown in defense of Fletcher's capabilities and the urgency of addressing these global challenges.
