This expanded analysis reflects on Madam Counsellor Saima Saleem’s remarks delivered at the UN Security Council Arria-formula Meeting commemorating a decade of Resolution 2286. It preserves the core commitments—that hospitals must heal, doctors and nurses must be protected, and wounded civilians must be shielded—while unpacking the practical implications, gaps, and opportunities for turning legal norms into protection. It is complemented by a considered personal assessment that emphasizes both accountability and forward-looking governance, including the role of emerging technologies, and a set of concrete recommendations for states, international organizations, and humanitarian actors to strengthen meaningful protection for medical care in armed conflict.
