Sandra Paunksniene, SIPA: Good evening ladies and gentlemen, guests and panelists.
Tonight we gather to discuss, as mentioned, a timely and very important topic, health care
in danger: the continuing violence against medical assistance in armed conflict. My name is
Sandra Paunksniene. I work with the School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) at
Columbia University. I will be moderating this discussion tonight.

Our panelists are all accomplished experts in the field. Mr. Philip Spoerri, Head of the
Delegation to the United Nations, International Committee of the Red Cross, also
otherwise known as ICRC, Mr. Fabien Dubuet, Representative to the United Nations,

at the World Health Organization, also known as WHO, Mr. Julien Piacibello, Humanitarian
Affairs Officer at the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs,
