Over the years I have attended many UN and other official meetings to discuss the impact of war on civilians. They always have well dressed, slim officials with neat haircuts and polished shoes. The sandwiches are plentiful, the coffee flows, the talk of the dead dominates on…

To implement the #Declaration, we need to understand the blast effects of what we are trying to protect people from. @AOAV and @TheIBRN's @JackWDenny explored why engineering-perspectives matter when discussing the protection of civilians from #EWIPA.👇 aoav.org.uk/2024/implement…

@katetalbotyoung from the @WeaponsMonitor draws attention to the indirect effects of EWIPA, highlighting for instance that attacks on aid agencies increased five-fold in 2023; as a result, aid agencies are often forced to stop the delivery of aid when it is most needed

Katherine Young of @WeaponsMonitor: harm to civilians is widespread and a global issue. In 2023, there was a significant increase in civilian casualties, attacks on education and humanitarian aid. Indirect harms are also frequent, including food insecurity and psychosocial harm

The RAF’s Dan Beard talks to a conference in Norway on explosive violence in populated areas. Impressive words but does the RAF credibly stand by its strange claim it’s only killed one civilian in its air strikes over Iraq and Syria, but taken out over 4,300 militants?
