Resolution 2532 won the unanimous support of the 15 members of the council.

It calls on all parties to armed conflicts to engage immediately in a durable humanitarian pause for at least 90 consecutive days to enable the safe, unhindered and sustained delivery of humanitarian assistance, provisions of related services by impartial humanitarian actors, and medical evacuations.
