A new int'l instrument is needed that prohibits unpredictable autonomous weapons systems (AWS) & ones designed or used to target humans. New rules must also place restrictions on all other AWS. ICRC Legal advisor @J_T_Horowitz in @cqresearcher https://t.co/wTI03hBSzF

As needs rise in Afghanistan and Pakistan, 🇨🇦 Canada's timely support enables @ICRC to respond where it’s needed most—including in crises that risk being overlooked.

From emergency care to support and protection for displaced families, this flexibility is critical.

Thanks to quality funding from donors like 🇨🇦 @CanadaDev, @ICRC can operate in places others can’t—like Pakistan’s Bajaur District, where conflict & floods have displaced thousands.

Together w/@PRC_official, we support affected communities with WASH and healthcare services.

[ICRC Public Sector Partnerships @ICRC_psp]

Thank you 🇨🇦 Canada for your swift support to our operations in #Afghanistan.

Your rapid contribution to the @ICRC enables us to respond immediately when conflict-affected communities face disaster—saving lives and alleviating suffering.
