@rasmusweschke.bsky.social underscored the urgent need to strengthen civilian protection before and during conflict — not only after. A key reminder for more proactive, life-saving action. #EWIPA #StopBombingCivilians

@almatas.bsky.social highlighted that the impact of EWIPA extends far beyond the moment of injury — long-term recovery requires sustained rehabilitation, mental health support, social inclusion, and access to essential services. #EWIPA #StopBombingCivilians

Roos Boer stresses that the harm from explosive weapons in towns and cities reaches far beyond the point of impact. The EWM data shows a global pattern that demands urgent alignment between commitments and real-world practice. #StopBombingCivilians

As highlighted by Roos Boer, progress exists—but real protection requires concrete policy shifts. Rising civilian deaths and attacks on essential services show why implementation can’t wait. #StopBombingCivilians

We’ll be in the room next week as diplomatic discussions on #AutonomousWeapons begin at #UNGeneva. States will be discussing the Chair’s rolling text – which could form the basis of a treaty. They must maintain the integrity of the text and move toward negotiations. Time is running out. #CCWUN

Polen, Finland en de Baltische staten willen uit het verdrag tegen landmijnen stappen. Dit is een gevaarlijke stap, omdat landmijnen nog jarenlang dodelijk blijven en vooral burgers treffen. Waarom is dit zo problematisch? Wij praten je bij: paxvoorvrede.nl/nieuws/besch...

Not all options should be on the table for defense, and some lines must never be crossed. Just as nations reject biological and chemical weapons, we must continue to reject anti-personnel #mines.
