Ambassador Betty E. King was the key note speaker at Webster University’s 18th Humanitarian Conference in Geneva on February 21, 2012. She noted that there was no better place to have such a conference than Geneva as it is the world headquarters for the key international health and humanitarian assistance organizations – including the World Health Organization, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, the Office of the Coordinator of Humanitarian Affairs, and the International Committee of the Red Cross, among others. Ambassador King also took the opportunity to highlight the U.S. commitment to humanitarian organizations reminding the audience that “Humanitarian assistance is at the very heart of U.S. foreign policy not only because we are the world leader in providing humanitarian assistance, but because we believe it is the right thing to do and, therefore, have made it an integral part of our foreign policy.”
