Background At its 65th session in July 2006, the IASC Working Group discussed the issue of humanitarian security and was presented with the report “Saving Lives Together: A Framework for improving Security Arrangements Among IGOs, NGOs and UN in the Field” prepared by a sub-working group of the IASC Task Force on Collaborative Approaches to Security led by InterAction and UNICEF. The report is an updated, revised and renamed version of the Menu of Options for UN/NGO/IGO Security Collaboration (MoO) which had been approved by the IASC in 2001. At its 65th session the IASC Working Group: Requested OCHA to amend the report “Saving Lives Together: A Framework for improving Security Arrangements Among IGOs, NGOs and UN in the Field” to remove all references to the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement and to re-circulate it to the IASC Working Group for approval (endorsement with amendment or no-objection). Action: OCHA The Amended Report – November 2006 Following the action point above, OCHA consulted with ICRC and IFRC and amended the report, “Saving Lives Together” to reflect the request of the 65th IASC WG and removed all references to the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement and its organizations from the entire text, including the annexes.
