We are witnessing widespread harm to civilians caught in armed conflict.
But wars have rules. And protecting civilians is NOT optional. It’s a moral and legal obligation.

2024 was the deadliest year on record for aid workers. Australia is proud to work with 🇧🇷🇨🇴🇮🇩🇯🇵🇯🇴🇸🇱🇨🇭🇬🇧 on the Declaration for the Protection of Humanitarian Personnel to encourage adherence to #IHL - because saving lives starts with protecting humanitarians. #POCWeek2025
Every day, humanitarians step into danger to deliver hope. Their safety cannot be an afterthought.
At the #PoCWeek2025 event, co-hosted by 🇦🇺 & 🇨🇭, #KingdomNL’s @CJLasseur stressed that aid must never be politicized or targeted.
We work to protect those who protect others.
Civilians in #Lebanon continue to pay the highest price.

As #PoCWeek2025 concludes, we reaffirm: protecting civilians is non-negotiable —every life lost is one too many. #NotATarget
#UNSC #POCweek2025 Open Debate
“We must address the disproportionate impact of conflict on women and children, and act decisively against sexual and gender-based violence.
Attacks on #humanitarian and @UN staff, journalists, and media professionals must stop.
We also need to combat disinformation, hate speech, and technology misuse that endanger civilians.”

In Myanmar, civilians continue to bear the brunt of conflict, disaster, and displacement.
This #PoCWeek2025 is a stark reminder that all people affected by Myanmar’s compounded crisis must be protected wherever they are.
Because #ProtectionOfCivilians is NOT optional.
Sexual violence is a war crime. It must stop now, and perpetrators must be held to account.

❗Plus de 120 conflits armés en 2024
Le tribut des civils a été immense :
⚫ Morts, blessures, destructions
⚫ Torture, violences sexuelles, disparitions
⚫ Perte de médicaments, de nourriture, d'eau, d'abris
Les civils ne sont #PasUneCible.
