Today at #AWS2024Vienna, Mirjana Spoljaric (Archive) underscored the urgent need for a new legally binding instrument to ❌prohibit #autonomousweapons that pose the gravest risks for #IHL compliance & our values: unpredictable AWS and antipersonnel AWS. ⚠️place strict constraints on others.

Civilians are the main victims of anti-personal #mines, children paying the highest price. There can be no justification for using such indiscriminate weapons. As we join the 5th #APMBC Review Conference in #Cambodia, we reiterate our pressing call for a mine-free world.

This week, ICRC teams supported a medical transfer with PRCS and increased water access for displaced people in the north of Gaza. But the needs continue increasing for civilians. More must be done.
