Astronauts are protected by a treaty. People facing disasters should be too. Right now, UN member states are working toward a new treaty to help protect people before, during and after disasters. When disasters strike, delays cost lives. IFRC is calling for stronger international rules so aid can move faster, cooperation is clearer and people are better protected. If humanity can agree rules to rescue people returning from space, we can agree rules to protect people living here on Earth.
