Today is the 10th anniversary of a terrorist attack on the United Nations Headquarters in Baghdad. The deadly attack claimed the lives of 22 people and it was a game changer for the world organization. It signaled the momentum from which the blue flag switched from being a shelter for those under it to being a target to terrorists in their war against western democracies.
August 19th, World Humanitarian Day was designated by the General Assembly to honour humanitarian workers around the world who often risk their lives for the greater cause.
