Where humanity suffers, humanitarian workers stand with courage & compassion. Every government has a duty to protect them & uphold international humanitarian law. Let humanity rise above conflict. @UNESCO @UNICEF @WHO @Oxfam @ICRC #ProtectionOfCiviliansWeek #VoiceForGlobalPeace

Humanitarian workers are witnesses to the suffering of communities in conflict as they provide lifesaving aid to them. Under international humanitarian law (IHL), governments have the duty to protect them and ensure they can deliver on their promise. Protect aid workers. Uphold the rules that safeguard us all. #ProtectionOfCiviliansWeek

Humanitarian workers in Gaza, Yemen, Lebanon and Sudan face attacks, detention, and blocked access to communities in need. This is a failure to respect the rules of war. Humanitarian workers are not parties to the conflict. Protect aid workers. Uphold the rules that keep us safe. #ProtectionOfCiviliansWeek

#ProtectionOfCiviliansWeek As we mark Protection of Civilians Week, we are reminded that protecting civilians requires more than statements of concern. It demands attention, serious measures and practical steps to save lives.

Aid workers deliver food, water, and care in the middle of conflict. They should never have to risk becoming casualties themselves. This is the time for courage. Demand accountability for violations and an end to impunity. Protect aid workers. Uphold the rules that safeguard us all. #ProtectionOfCiviliansWeek

#ProtectionofCiviliansWeek: Proud to host today's side-event on the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention #APMBC together with @ICRC. 162 states signed the APMBC. Recent withdrawals represent an unprecedented setback & a risk of renewed APM use & a weakening of humanitarian norms.

Protection of humanitarian workers is failing. In 2024, 97% of them were humanitarians from the crisis-affected country. Local aid workers stay when others can’t. Their safety must be a priority. Countries must take measures to prevent the targeting of humanitarian workers. End the impunity. #ProtectionOfCiviliansWeek

En el marco de la semana de la “Protección de los Civiles en los Conflictos Armados” #ProtectionOfCiviliansWeek, Chile 🇨🇱 adhirió a la Declaración de Prensa Conjunta, en la antesala del Debate Abierto del Consejo de Seguridad sobre esta materia. Los Estados enfatizaron que “la protección de los civiles no es opcional: es una obligación legal bajo el Derecho Internacional Humanitario”, haciendo un llamado a que las partes en conflicto cumplan con sus obligaciones permitiendo y facilitando un acceso seguro, rápido y sin obstáculos a la asistencia humanitaria para todos los civiles que la necesiten.

#ProtectionofCiviliansWeek Sexual violence is a war crime. Today Norway together with All Survivors Project hosted a side event focusing on how to ensure access to health care and protection for survivors of sexual violence. #EndRapeInWar #PoCWeek2025

Conflict remains the single largest driver of acute food insecurity. 🇨🇭calls for respect of #IHL, implementation of #UNSC Res. 2417 & support for anticipatory, localized & protection-focused responses. We need political will to turn words into action. #ProtectionofCiviliansWeek

#ProtectionofCiviliansWeek A record number of conflicts is accompanied by a rise in civilian fatalities. The widespread harm to civilians must end. Wars have rules. Protecting civilians is NOT optional! It’s a moral and legal obligation! #NotATarget #PoCWeek2025

“There is no absence of data or proof. There is only an absence of accountability, adherence to international law, and sufficient political will to put the protection, safety and dignity of civilians first.” Concern CEO Dominic Crowley, writing in today’s @IrishExaminer about large-scale attacks on civilians ahead of UN #ProtectionOfCiviliansWeek Read and share. ⏬ bit.ly/3S4vUMn
