Protecting civilians during armed conflict is a cornerstone of international humanitarian law (IHL). But did you know that #IHL is based on humanitarian principles found in many cultures and religions? Making it a common heritage of humanity.

“Wars are the moment you see the enemy forces approaching and you suddenly remember one of your children is at school, and you are not sure if you will reach on time to take your child with you into exile” This is the unbearable cost of war. ICRC Director Pierre Krähenbühl #WGS25

Le droit international humanitaire est notre dernier rempart face à la barbarie des conflits. Pourtant, il est trop souvent bafoué. Mirjana Spoljaric, présidente du CICR, appelle les États à faire du #DIH une priorité politique. À lire ici 👉🏼 blogs.icrc.org/law-and-policy…

📍#SudKivu Après les événements du week-end à #Bukavu, les équipes chirurgicales du CICR ont pris en charge une trentaine de blessés entre le 14 et 17 février à l’Hôpital Provincial Général de Référence de Bukavu. Les explications de notre cheffe de sous-délégation à Bukavu 👇

Is multilateralism dead? #IHL the dream of a bygone era? Let's take a look back, with my colleague Eva Svoboda, at the stakes, challenges & achievements of the International Conference of the Red Cross & Red Crescent Movement. international-review.icrc.org/articles/the-3…

Our ICRC office in Rafah/#Gaza was clearly marked with a Red Cross emblem but it was unfortunately not spared today. Very luckily, our committed colleagues were not there when it happened. This serious incident in addition to all others affecting civilians are unacceptable.

The earthquake in #Myanmar has devastated communities already suffering from armed conflict and violence. We ICRC are on the ground with the Myanmar Red Cross, preparing to assist those affected, including reconnecting family members who have been separated.

At Finance in Common, Olivier Ray shares two key insights: 1⃣ Development banks can stabilize post-conflict zones by derisking investments & sustaining public systems. 2⃣ International humanitarian law remains the main avenue to easing war's toll in a conflict-ridden world.

In 2024, weapon contamination casualties rose by 22%, mostly civilians. Our data suggests that 2025 will be even worse, leaving affected communities even more vulnerable. Erik Tollefsen, head of weapon contamination, shares 👇🏽 #MineAwarenessDay

The Anti-personnel Mine Ban Convention was adopted to safeguard humanity in war. Framing it as “fighting with our hands tied behind our backs” is deeply misleading. It’s time to prioritize humanity over false promises of safety.

Today is International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action. We want to share the story of a couple whose lives have been changed forever by landmines. More from them here - ms.spr.ly/6015qSWVD

📍#Syria, rural #Aleppo. After a landmine killed her husband & 10-year-old son, Rabi’a lost hope & like many others in the area, stopped farming her lands. Thanks to ICRC`s UXOs clearance efforts, she could start harvesting olives & producing oil again, resuming her livelihood.

Le #Myanmar a été frappé par un séisme dévastateur, faisant des milliers de morts et de nombreux blessés. Le CICR intervient en urgence pour fournir secours, soins médicaux et soutien aux communautés touchées. 👉🏼 Découvrez notre action sur le terrain : icrc.org/fr/article/sei…
