In times of war, neutrality is not indifference;

it is a deliberate way of working to be able to help without taking sides, allowing us to reach those who need it most.

Join us and artist @Vaskange on the often misunderstood role of neutrality.

Who has a role to play in combating climate change?

[ICRC @ICRC]

Conflict ruins the environment.
Climate change devastates it further.

How can those caught in the crossfire survive?

[ICRC Africa @ICRC_Africa]

Why does international humanitarian law protect the natural environment?

[ICRC Southern Africa @ICRC_SAfrica]

"International humanitarian law limits the brutality in times of war and when this happens, basic, intrinsic humanity is recognised. We need to continue this work.

We owe it to our dear friend #ChristofHeyns to continue this endeavour.
