We implore the parties in #Sudan to grant us immediate and unimpeded access to assist civilians in need. This is not optional – it is a legal obligation under international humanitarian law. Statement by Mirjana Spoljaric (Archive):

Did you know that we are the largest humanitarian network in the world? We celebrate the power of community and people helping people, both in the spotlight during crises and behind the scenes in day-to-day life. Everything we do comes #FromTheHeart

Such a joy to celebrate World #RedCross #RedCrescent Day together with Movement Partners Fiji Red Cross Society. Everything we do comes #FromTheHeart.

In the places that ICRC works – frontlines, camps, prison facilities - children suffer enormously. At the heart of protecting children in armed conflict lies respect for international humanitarian law - it must be upheld. #ProtectChildrenInConflict icrc.org/en/document/we…

IMPORTANT REMINDER: In 2008, governments adopted the Convention on Cluster Munitions, which prohibits the use, production, stockpiling and transfer of cluster munitions. ⁦Erik Tollefsen⁩ ⁦ICRC⁩ icrc.org/en/document/ic…

1. Working in affected countries clearing and disposing explosive submunitions before the #CCM came into force in 2008 sometimes felt like the the curse of Sisyphus. The convention helped curb the grim statistics of this weapon that causes indiscriminate harm and suffering.

Grateful to CEO of RedR Australia Dr Helen Durham AO, ICRC Director of Operations Martin Schüepp and Director of Tech Policy Design Centre Johanna Weaver who discussed the importance of #IHL for humanitarian action and efforts to prevent & reduce the human cost of conflict.
