    Final consultation on a political declaration to protect civilians from explosive weapons
    Jun 16 2022
    States, civil society, and international organisations will meet in Geneva on 17 June 2022 to finalise a milestone international agreement on the use of explosive weapons in populated areas. In this episode, coordinator of the International Network on Explosive Weapons (INEW) Laura Boillot, senior researcher at Human Rights Watch Bonnie Docherty and executive director of Project Ploughshares Cesar Jaramillo discuss the final text, which will be presented to states at the meeting. More than 65 states have participated in this political declaration process, including some major users of explosive weapons. Once the text is finalised, the International Network on Explosive Weapons (INEW) will call on all states to join the political declaration at the earliest opportunity and, in doing so, to demonstrate their commitment to strengthening the protection of civilians in armed conflict.

  • A political declaration to protect civilians from explosive weapons

    A political declaration to protect civilians from explosive weapons
    Mar 25 2022
    From Mosul, Aleppo, Raqqa, Taiz, Donetsk, Fallujah and Sana'a, and now to Kyiv and Mariupol - each year tens of thousands of civilians are killed and injured across the world as a result of use of explosive weapons in towns, cities and other populated areas. This pattern of harm has been well-documented to show that when heavy explosive weapons are used in towns and cities - it is civilians that suffer the most. In this episode, INEW’s Coordinator and Steering Committee members share views on the last draft of the political declaration in preparation for the negotiations of an international political declaration to protect civilians from the use of explosive weapons in populated areas.  Also available on Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Spotify, Audible and Amazon Music. Contributors: Laura Boillot of Article 36 & Coordinator of INEW Alma Taslidžan of Humanity and Inclusion Steve Goose of Human Rights Watch Uldduz Sohrabi of Article 36
