Amidst troubling global conflicts, it was reassuring to hear positive statements from key states, including China, at Geneva’s high-level event on the Global Initiative on International Humanitarian Law. Here’s what Ambassador Chen Xu 陈旭 said, as reported by CGTN.

Amid rising global conflicts, how can we pursue peace? What role do major powers play in upholding international humanitarian law (IHL)? These questions were at the centre of the panel discussion in Geneva. Grateful to China & Chen Xu 陈旭 for their steadfast support to IHL.

.ICRC launched consultations to explore how upholding IHL can foster peace and de-escalation. The first session was held on March 20 in Geneva, with state representatives, including China, and other experts 👇 icrc.org/en/news-releas…

We’re proud to partner with Beijing Rongzhi CSR Institute to launch the Chinese version of the Conflict Prevention Tool, developed by ICRC & DCAF HQ with support from the Swiss government. Now more accessible to Chinese enterprises working in conflict affected countries.

I had the honour of meeting H.E. Amb. Nurlan Yermekbayev, Secretary-General of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization on 15 May in Beijing. We discussed ongoing engagement & future cooperation. The ICRC looks forward to further strengthening collaboration under our 2017 MoU.

Over the past two decades, our dialogue on global humanitarian affairs and IHL with China - govt, PLA, RCSC, academia, think tanks, media & corporates - has deepened understanding and cooperation. Proud to share an overview of our ongoing engagements 👇 bit.ly/4b7wLVd

When applied, the rules of war save lives. "Protecting civilians means upholding these IHL protections. The survival of these lifesaving rules cannot be taken for granted. They must be defended.", Mirjana Spoljaric, ICRC President, at the UN Security Council.👇🏽

The new International Organization for Mediation, headquartered in Hong Kong, has been established. I recall an inspiring March 2024 discussion with Dr Sun Jin, DG of the IOMed Preparatory Office. ICRC looks forward to continued engagement on IHL, conflict prevention and peace.

For 162 years, we've been on the side of humanity. By upholding our fundamental principles, we have worked to help communities affected by humanitarian crises around the world. Mirjana Spoljaric, ICRC president, shares 👇🏽
