Interviewer: Mark Simmons

Marco Rotelli, Secretary General of INTERSOS says more pressure is needed, including from NGOs, to ensure concrete commitments are made by political leaders at the #WHSummit. A stronger focus on prevention of conflicts is crucial, but when discussing linking humanitarian and development efforts, a clear distinction between the different fields must be maintained.
