FM #EriksenSoreide: Deeply concerned by the escalation in #Yemen. Recent air strikes have resulted in a large number of civilian casualties, including children, according to @UN. I urge all parties to respect their obligations under #IHL & ensure that civilians are #NotATarget
Here’s the speech I gave at the 4th #ATT State Party Conference in Tokyo last week. Critical for suppliers to consider the risk of the weapons they provide being used to commit, or facilitate, serious violations of human rights and #IHL. #ArmsTreaty

Hasna—a paramedic—was obviously a #HealthWorker. He was wearing a surgical mask & neon vest & rushing to save lives. An Israeli sniper shot him in the leg with a pulverizing "butterfly" bullet.
Hasna & other health workers are #NotATarget! @AlJazeera#Gaza
