Explosive weapons have devastating effects when used in populated areas
🧵 (1/3) UNIDIR Director Robin Geiss moderated a panel at the #EWIPAOslo Conference, which promoted a discussion on the widespread & devastating pattern of civilian harm resulting from the use of explosive weapons in populated areas 🌐⬇️
Kriger utkjempes ikke på åpne slagmarker lenger, men i byer der folk bor. Eksplosive våpen gjør enorm skade. 90% av ofrene er sivile. Hjem, sykehus og skoler smadres, og tilgang til vann og strøm blir borte. Denne formen for krigføring kan ikke bli den nye normalen.

The use of #explosiveweapons in populated areas (EWIPA) is a practice that has horrific consequences for many children. Have a read of UNICEF's recommendations for what countries should be doing to stop this practice. #EWIPAoslo

Hoy concluyeron 3️⃣ intensos días de trabajo para reiterar la pertinencia de la Declaración Política #EWIPA en el complejo contexto actual, señalando la importancia de la implementación en la vertiente militar y #humanitaria #EWIPA Oslo Norway in Geneva 🇳🇴 Norway MFA
The destruction and harm inflicted upon civilians by heavy explosive weapons is not an acceptable nor inevitable by-product of urban warfare.
We call on all states to join the Political Declaration #EWIPAOslo
The success of the Political Declaration on💥weapons hinges on building genuine political will & meaningful action by endorsing states. Little has been done so far, argue ICRC INEW United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research UN Humanitarian @UNODA Norges Røde Kors experts. #EWIPAOslo 👇🏽

Although this Declaration is in its infancy, the problems it aims to address have long been clear. MAG (Mines Advisory Group)’s thousands of dedicated staff – many of whose own communities are directly affected – work tirelessly to mitigate those effects everyday. #EWIPAOslo
