Proud to stand together in the effort to strengthen the protection of civilians.

#EWIPA #StopBombingCivilians

@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

Bonnie Docherty stresses that real civilian protection depends on consistent, transparent, and collective implementation of the Declaration’s commitments.

#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.
