IASC Principals are the heads of all IASC member agencies or their representatives.

They meet twice a year in conferences chaired by the Emergency Relief Coordinator, Ms. Valerie Amos, usually in April and December. For urgent matters, the IASC Principals can schedule ad hoc meetings.

»  Responsibilities of IASC Principals:

  • Making strategic policy decisions.
  • Making major operational decisions.
  • Arbitrating where no consensus can be reached at the Working Group level .
  • Advocating common humanitarian principles, collectively or individually, on behalf of the IASC.
  • Approving the general work programme of the IASC and the Working Group.
  • Bringing issues to the attention of the Secretary-General and the Security Council through the Emergency Relief Coordinator.

The Emergency Relief Coordinator, supported by the IASC Secretariat, consults IASC member agencies on the agenda for IASC Principals Meetings.
