On 19 August 2015, World Humanitarian Day was observed with the theme Inspiring the World’s Humanity.
The theme calls for people to join any of the world’s humanitarian organizations and become an active messenger of Humanity.
The day is dedicated to recognize humanitarian personnel and those who have lost their lives working for humanitarian causes.
It was designated as part of a Swedish-sponsored resolution on ‘the Strengthening of the Coordination of Emergency Assistance of the United Nations’.
