Tomorrow will take place the 1st follow up conference on the political declaration to better #ProtectCivilians from the use of #ExplosiveWeapons in populated areas
In times of peace, the rights & needs of persons with disabilities are often forgotten. It's even worse in wartime
It is often impossible for people with disabilities to reach medical care in open conflict: "If I would have been injured during a bombardment I would have had no chance to reach the hospital", says @NujeenMustafa at the #ProtectionForum24 today in Oslo. #Stopbombingcivilians

Guerre en Ukraine : des mines à la dérive depuis les inondations provoquées par la destruction du barrage de Kahkovka. Voilà la nouvelle menace à laquelle sont confrontés les civils et dont nous parle Anne Héry, directrice du playdoyer Handicap International.
Such a promising step forward after several years of relentless advocacy efforts! Congratulations to Valentina Pomatto and to all HI colleagues and partners for their engagement. #WHA76#rehabilitation
At the #WHA76 Maria Marelli from @HI_federation just delivered a statement supporting the 1st ever resolution on #rehabilitation and stressing the need to implement it, for everyone in need and everywhere
Humanitarian Coordinator for Ukraine, Denise Brown, has strongly condemned the attack that hit, shortly ago, a hospital in Dnipro, killing and injuring civilians.
Hospitals have special protection under International Humanitarian Law. They are #NotaTarget!
Here in Geneva at the #WHA76, we're making history: counting the hours until the adoption the first ever resolution on #rehabilitation. A 4-year advocacy campaign by @HI_Advocacy and partners. Check out why this is so important: https://t.co/snzqoLnTNo
#RehabilitationMatters
We look forward to the first ever resolution on #rehabilitation at the #WHA76. High-level policy change is meaningful only if it contributes to improve people’s lives. Testimonies in this video illustrate why #RehabilitationMatters. Full video here : https://t.co/zgsLsyMa0N

Manuel Patrouillard, directeur de HI: "Nous sommes aujourd'hui, à Dublin, alors que 80 États adoptent l’accord international contre les bombardements en zones peuplées. Avec ce texte, vient l'espoir que les civils seront mieux protégés des armes explosives à l'avenir."
« On behalf of hundreds of MPs from many countries, we congratulate 🇮🇪 for holding this historical conference. We commend the commitment of all endorsing States who are showing today leadership & political willingness to change & adapt their policies & practices » @hub_laferriere
Amazing from the US, given its historic stance towards international agreements and constraints on military action (under both political parties). Valuable international leadership that has given licence for many other states to get on board too.
The historic #EWIPA Conference is now underway in Dublin Castle. 🕊️
Today’s formal adoption of the Political Declaration is aimed at reducing the harm caused to civilians from the use of explosive weapons in populated areas.

“Living under bombing and shelling is something I would never wish upon anyone” Strong testimony from survivor and activist @NujeenMustafa during the wreath-laying ceremony at the Monument to the Unknown Civilian in Dublin on this historic day for #UrbanWarfare in Dublin💚 #EWIPA
Today in Dublin, States will for the first time commit to limit the use of explosive weapons in populated areas.
In #Marawi as in so many other cities, civilians have suffered enormous unacceptable suffering. @ICRC urges all states to endorse the #EWIPA Political Declaration.
