International treaties in one table: The rules of war. #IHL
Focus on Common article 3. #CA3
Civilians are not a strategic military target.
Civilians are to be protected.
Repeat: civilians cannot be killed, injured or starved.
When war breaks out, detaining authorities are responsible for ensuring humane treatment of those they detain.
Under IHL, torture and ill-treatment are strictly prohibited, and that protection must be real, not just written.
This is how we can help, and what we cannot do 👇🏽

"On Auschwitz" podcast: the film chronicle of liberation of Auschwitz
The Auschwitz camp was liberated on January 27, 1945, by soldiers of the Red Army. Well-known are the scenes captured by Soviet cameramen, which, although not showing the exact moment of liberation, are important documents revealing the crimes committed by the Germans in Auschwitz.
It is essential to remember that some of the film material was created for propaganda purposes. Edyta Chowaniec from the Film Archive of the Museum explains the circumstances of the creation of the so-called Auschwitz Liberation Chronicle.

You can’t unsee this. 💀
This is not about “anesthesia.”
It’s about hubris, corruption, and obfuscation: individuals who know **nothing about medicine making medical decisions**.
No doubt this is the tip of the iceberg at @AnthemBCBS.

This is where the focus should have been from the beginning: the state signed obligations under IHL and occupation. The way forward is signed, codified agreements already in place. #TheRulesofWar#IHL
"the main victims of strikes on residential buildings were children, with the three categories of age mostly represented in the verified fatalities sequentially being the ones from 5 to 9 years old, from 10 to 14 years old and from 0 to 4 years old, for both boys and girls."
Across northern #Gaza, there is no way of telling where the destruction starts or ends.
No matter from what direction you enter #Gaza City, homes, hospitals, schools, health clinics, mosques, apartments, restaurants - all completely flattened.
An entire society now a graveyard.
