Humanitarian exemptions --- Thanks for this Mohameds. In the past we sometimes found that exemptions which could be obtained from the UN Security Council's sanctions processes would be more or less respected by member states. The proliferation of legislation by individual states has made this a much more fraught topic and I sense a need in the future for humanitarian organisations to do some joint work on this. Perhaps using the InterAgency Standing Committee and with the Steering Committee for Humanitarian Response as the kick-starter for the action. A subject for further thought.
