1 World Humanitarian summit inistanbul projects two majorobjectives such as the development of the humanitarian system in compliance with the UN framework and second objective to host such a world humanitarian conference is to solve the refugee rehab issue. Right now, 2.7 million Syrian asylum seekers get aids from Turkey. This country is now theshelter to these homeless poor beggars. So, Turkey needs an innovative humanitarian sector which will work sameway as the UN organization acts. This summit requires the co-operative maneuvers of both Turkey and UN tostandardize the world humanitarian and refugee rehab mission. Turkey NeedsInnovative PhilanthropicAids Deployment Mechanism

2 Least developed countries or LDC summit has similaritywhen it is compared with world humanitarian summit in Istanbul. Actually, LDC seminar in 2011 spotted therefugee rehab zones where Turkey tried to dominate. At this summit in Istanbul, the refugee rehabilitation issue is extended further to otherareas. At the same time, theinternal problems to reinstall refugees within the territory of Turkey wereprioritized at this international humanitarian conference. Turkey is the sufferer because ofthe overwhelming crisis to take care of 2.7 million asylum seekers. Annually about $20 billion isrequired for conducting rehabilitation campaign. This is the most noticeableissue raised at Istanbul convention. The outlook and vision of world humanitariansummit must have innovation. Insteadof providing aids to the victims during emergency, it will be a solidhumanitarian and rehabilitation industry to expand the coverage of refugeerehabilitation overtaking different problems. NewHumanitarian Sector Should Have Mobility in Rehabilitating Million Destitute In the world, around 60 million refugees or asylumseekers are found in dilapidated and pitiable condition. They are vagabonds and treated likecattle. Thehumanitarian accessibility must be broadened by enabling over million refugees to have basic facilities like accommodation,food and clothes. The space for rehabilitation must be widened. UN and Turkey will mobilize the elimination of deadlock to provide humanitarian aids to unreachablezones. Humanitarianmechanism should have flawless progression with handsome life care programs forthe destitute. In this connection, David Miliband, the chief executive and thechairman of IRC/International Rescue Committee opted for the phrase humanitarian sector in his speech at Georgian University. David stated that large non-profit humanitarian organizations like Red Cross, UN and RedCrescent are not much resilient with powerful rehabilitation mobility network. These global humanitarian philanthropicorganizations have shortageof leadership and management. Therefore, the humanitarian aids deployment mission is obstructive. Victims are not able to have propercare and aids. There is rigidavailability of philanthropic aids to rescue refugees in risky border lines. The cross border refugees rehab missionmust be smooth with harmony in the distribution of food, clothes and medications to rescuepoor asylum seekers from catastrophic crisis or disaster. UN Role MustBe Specified Priority of Involvement of Local NGOs to Act with UN

3 At this international summit hosted in Istanbul, therole of UN was analyzed. Otherhumanitarian sectors are not knowledgeable properly about the mission andobjectives of UN. So, UNmust give a clear objective and vision set for people. Structural transmission and innovationmust be valued when UN plans to launch any philanthropic package or riskmanagement program. The transformation in the humanitarian support infrastructure must be completedwithin the UN humanitarian regulation. Well, the transitionfrom the international humanitarian infrastructure to the regional or localrehab campaigns is not easy. People must have new mindsets with richness in their ideologies to accept such an abrupttransmission. Secondly, infrastructural modification with transition is not a trouble free homeworkfor global philanthropic players. In 2014, only 0.2 percent internationalphilanthropic aids were utilized through local NGO agencies and rehab servicecenters. UNHCR will utilize20 percent of humanitarian aids by 2020 with the co-operation of a number of local rehab NGOs. Charter 4 Change which has 27 global NGOs will allot 20 percent philanthropic fund forrefugee rehab by Thiscompact international humanitarian aids package must be accessible toeverybody. However, localrehab mission is still not qualitative for victims. So, the process of aids deployment should be improved. Turkish HasMore Modified Humanitarian Mechanism Operated by Local NGO and Civilians Turkish has a developed philanthropic aid deploying infrastructure which is operated by local NGOsand civilians to achieve good results. Turkey held both LDC and international humanitarian summits for modifying the framework of rehabilitation aidssupply. Turkey opts for introduction of dynamictools which include diplomacy, and philanthropic aids delivery development. The key objective oftaking the modified diplomacy is to solve conflict or dispute in a proper way. The peace restoration scheme will alsobe given a shape. Turkey hascreated a different philanthropic aids deployment ambience by involving the local NGOs and social reformers. Western humanitarian service providers have no such system forrehabilitating refugees. Conclusion

4 In thefinal conclusion, the sum-up of the world humanitarian summit in Istanbulincludes the new environment for Turkey to enhance the proper alliance with UNto refurbish the traditional or old fashioned humanitarian support system. Though Turkey key leaders have not got a solution to deal with miseries of 2.7 million refugees within 24 hours, this summit has inspired two globalhumanitarian service providers to identify thebest mobilized humanitarian aidstransferring mechanism to handle over 2 million victims.
