🇨🇭congratulates🇨🇳for steering UNSC in May & commends the emphasis on protection of civilians during #PoCWeek & respect for the UN Charter. Civilians & humanitarian personnel must always be protected. The Charter & multilateral system remain essential for int'l peace & security.

Important discussion hosted by 🇦🇺🇨🇦 at #POCWeek in NY on protecting humanitarian personnel. When humanitarians are attacked, the lifesaving assistance and services civilians rely on are also disrupted. We must translate commitments to protect humanitarians into concrete action.

#PoCWeek: Joined Water Under Attack side event to discuss protection of civilians, reverberating effects, and safeguarding essential services in armed conflict. Respect #IHL to uphold #HumanityInWar

Australia 🇦🇺 and @CanadaUN 🇨🇦 were proud to convene Protecting the Protectors at #PoCWeek - driving forward the Declaration for the Protection of Humanitarian Personnel, now endorsed by 110 states. 📸: @KingdomNL_UN

This includes safe and unhindered humanitarian access, practical measures to protect humanitarian personnel, and accountability when #IHL is violated.  States have a key role in turning these commitments into concrete measures that keep civilians safe. #PoCWeek

#PoCWeek: Honored to co-host with @NorwayUN a side-event on #APMBC - a vital treaty addressing the devastating impact of mines on civilians. Recent setbacks and renewed mine use risk decades of progress. Respect #IHL to uphold #HumanityInWar

As conflicts increase and humanitarians face rising threats, communities already living through crisis are put at greater risk.  At #PoCWeek, we have the opportunity to advance practical solutions that help protect people affected by conflict and those who support them.

Development ensures conflict doesn't leave permanent scars on communities. Joined @KuwaitMissionUN’s #PoCWeek panel on protecting civilian objects in armed conflict. At @UNDP, we drive #EarlyRecovery to restore basic infra, services & livelihoods that anchor long-term recovery.

#PoCWeek Panel discussion : Amb. BENDJAMA presented today #Algeria’s recognized experience and monumental efforts in clearing its land from millions of mines laid by the colonial army and reaffirmed Algeria's commitment to the Anti-personnel mine ban Convention. #APMBC

Thank you to @PHMissionNY for hosting the #PoCWeek side event “Water under Attack”, highlighting the devastating humanitarian impact of attacks on water and sanitation systems. The message is clear: Protecting and supporting essential service providers saves lives.

What are the implications of AI and autonomous weapons systems for the protection of civilians? At 🇦🇹 #PoCWeek side event, talks focused on autonomous weapons and AI-supported targeting, raising concerns on accountability, escalation, and maintaining human control. #NotATarget

En la Semana de Protección de Civiles #PoCWeek, 🇬🇹 se unió a la declaración sobre la Iniciativa Global para galvanizar el compromiso con el Derecho Internacional Humanitario, reafirmando la importancia de fortalecer el marco jurídico y asegurar su plena implementación y respeto.

Today at the #UNSC, Lithuania 🇱🇹 together with 86 delegations joined the launch of Joint Commitments to Uphold the Protection of Civilians amid Reforms and Constraints. #HumanityinWar #IHL #PoCWeek

On May 20, Ambassador Jihoon Cha, Permanant Representative of the Republic of Korea, gave a remark at the Security Council's 10154th meeting, an open debate on the Protection of Civilians in Armed Conflict, celebrating the #PoC week. ROK 🇰🇷, as a responsible member of the international community, will continue to strengthen its efforts to advance the protection of civilians-including medical workers, children, women and girls, and missing persons- especially in an era where new and emerging technologies in armed conflict raise serious humanitarian concerns over civilian protection. #pocweek

Protecting humanitarian personnel is crucial for PoC. At #PoCWeek side event today, participants emphasized it is time to move from commitments to concrete action to fully implement 🇨🇭-tabled #UNSC Resolution 2730 and ensure aid workers can operate safely.

On #PoCWeek Portugal joined 89 MS, EU & @ICRC on a stakeout on the Global Initiative to Galvanize Political Commitment to International Humanitarian Law, reaffirming that respect for IHL & protection of civilians must remain absolute priorities, in all conflicts & by all parties.

As conflicts evolve, so must protection. 🇦🇹 called in today’s #UNSC debate for strengthening peacekeeping mandates, building on Austria’s resolution 1894, while addressing AI and autonomous weapons risks and reducing harm in urban warfare 🛡️ #NotATarget #PoCWeek

#PoCWeek: ICRC president Mirjana Spoljaric briefed the UN Security Council during the Open Debate on the Protection of Civilians.

Across MENAEE, conflict drives hunger, collapses food systems and constrains access. The Collaborative Initiative on Humanitarian Diplomacy links field realities to political action but no single tool is enough. Political problems need political solutions. #PoCWeek

Civilians in over 130 conflicts face devastating harm. During #PoCWeek, 🇦🇹 joined nearly 90 states backing the IHL Global Initiative led by Jordan & ICRC to strengthen protection, uphold IHL, and defend humanity. 🚨Civilians are #NotaTarget
