A good criticism of the international response system titled Where is everyone? In this report we level criticism at the UN for its lack of flexibility and effectiveness.In particular, we highlight the way the current UN system inhibits good decision-making, in particular in displacement crises where a number of UN agencies have a responsibility to respond. We also put the choices made by INGOs, our peers, in the spotlight: to profile themselves as emergency responders, but without building the technical and human capacity to respond quickly and effectively; to work as implementers for the UN agencies, and become trapped in their bureaucracies; to avoid risk to the extent that they won’t work where people most need them; and to become dependent on the geopolitical interests in play in various conflicts and crises Once again, MSF is on the field while UN and INGO staff are discussing vulnerability scales, response plans and evacuation strategies. reliefweb.int/sites/reliefweb.int/files/resources/msf-whereiseveryone_-def-lr_-_july.pdf
