6/ Transparency alone isn’t enough to address civilian harm — but it’s a crucial first step.

In our briefing, we urge all states that took part in OIR to strengthen how they track, investigate, and report civilian harm, while laying out concrete recommendations.

5/ Meanwhile many of the states analysed, including the UK and France, have little transparency on civilian harm and maintain they have killed almost no civilians during OIR, despite substantial evidence of such harm occurring.

4/ The Trump administration's recent campaign in Yemen highlights how changing priorities can adversely affect progress. Airwars found that more Yemeni civilians were killed in 52 days of strikes than in the prior 23 years combined.

3/ Some countries have made significant improvements to internal transparency mechanisms on Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response (CHMR); particularly the Netherlands and US. Yet in the latter, changing political interests and budget cuts are threatening such reforms.
