Protecting civilians in armed conflict remains an obligation for all parties under international humanitarian law (IHL).
Mirjana Spoljaric, ICRC president, tells @BeckyCNN, after a recent visit to Iran.
Nuclear power plants carry risks that don’t stay contained.
When they’re damaged, the consequences can spread across borders, across generations, and across the environment we all depend on.
That’s why the rules of war set strict limits: to prevent harm that cannot be undone.
Over 130 armed conflicts are raging today, twice as many as 15 years ago. Wars are lasting longer, growing more complex, and trapping entire generations.
