#PoCWeek: Joined Water Under Attack side event to discuss protection of civilians, reverberating effects, and safeguarding essential services in armed conflict.

Respect #IHL to uphold #HumanityInWar

[ICRC at UN NY @ICRC_NYC]

Disruption of water and sanitation systems is not only a technical or humanitarian-services issue — it is fundamentally a protection of civilians issue.

#PoCWeek: Honored to co-host with @NorwayUN a side-event on #APMBC - a vital treaty addressing the devastating impact of mines on civilians.

Recent setbacks and renewed mine use risk decades of progress.

Respect #IHL to uphold #HumanityInWar

[La France à l'ONU 🇫🇷🇺🇳 @franceonu]

La 🇫🇷 et 88 autres États exhortent à la protection des civils et au respect des lois de la guerre. Il y a urgence à agir. Nous appelons tous les États à rejoindre l’Initiative mondiale pour le DIH et à participer à la conférence de haut niveau qui aura lieu le 7/12 en Jordanie.

🧵1/ At the #NPTRevCon, South Africa took the floor, in its capacity as the President of the 1st Review of the #TPNW, to argue that any outcome document must reflect the view of TPNW states parties, which group represents a majority of NPT member states: https://t.co/6k6N6943FK

[Jean-Marie Collin @jmc_nonukes]

This Group of Friends on PoC is really important. The call for full respect of IHL is key
But wait… just a few meters away at the #NPTRevCon negotiations aren’t some major NWS from this very group trying to remove references to IHL from the final document?

High Level Conference on Humanity in War to convene in Jordan on 7 December 2026.
Compliance w/ international humanitarian law and preserving a minimum of humanity in war must be a political priority of states if they want these wars to end & their societies to recover.

📍Mali | When there are violent incidents affecting health care, the impact goes beyond the immediate harm. Fear spreads of seeking care and not being treated.

Vuningoma Dismas, our hospital project manager in Mali, explains how these attacks disrupt services and put more civilian lives at risk.

[Veronique Christory @VChristory]

Congratulations Lebanon! Such a good news, a powerful message for all those who suffer the devastating consequences of these awful weapons and an important step toward the universalization of international humanitarian law treaties #IHL in action 🙏

[ICRC @ICRC]

We welcome Lebanon’s accession to the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention as its 162nd State Party.

This marks an important step toward protecting civilians from the devastating effects of anti-personnel mines and strengthening the global effort to universalize the treaty.

Today marks the 10th anniversary of UN resolution 2286 for the protection of health care in armed conflicts. As violence affecting health care has increased over the past 5 years, this resolution is more relevant than ever.

A man spent 50 years teaching at MIT.

Near the end, he knew time was running out. So he recorded one final lecture, everything he learned distilled into one hour.

He passed away 5 months later.

This is that lecture. Bookmark it.

Join us for an event today at the margins of the #NPTRevcon to discuss art, memory and nuclear weapons. “When there is culture, there is peace” recalled the founder of the Roerich Pact for the protection of cultural sites in times of war and peace.

In his four-day visit to Brazil, @PKraehenbuehl, ICRC's Director-General, combined high-level engagements with authorities to strengthen dialogue on key global humanitarian issues with meetings with families of missing persons and professionals working in areas affected by armed violence.
