dc.description.abstractAbstract ‘Leave no one behind’ in the context of the United Nations’ humanitarianism poses a noble ideal yet a challenging practice. The concept showcases terminological prevalence particularly in policy, yet unfeasibility against the enormity of humanitarian needs and limited resources to respond. Therefore, this working paper asks the following: If the concept is not a feasible aim, what does it provide? I suggest that the meaning of ‘leave no one behind’ captures three overlapping humanitarian themes at once: humanitarian language, humanitarian donorships and humanitarian diplomacy. Accompanied by interview material with humanitarian practitioners from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), I conclude that ‘leave no one behind’ presents gains for humanitarian action in terms of political and economic support, even though it lacks operational potential for universal implementation.
