As world leaders gather at #MunichSecuityConference, our president warns of the mounting costs of war and the security risks that could follow if #IHL is not better respected ➡️ http://ms.spr.ly/63324Uquk8
“The magnitude of destruction we see in today’s conflict zones is stretching international systems to their breaking point.” The human cost is immeasurable, and the rebuilding costs astronomical. The threat of economic fallout extends far beyond conflict zones and risks disrupting global markets and undermining stability worldwide. Conflict is the greatest driver of humanitarian needs, and if we are to reduce aid dependency and prevent the reversal of development gains, we must mitigate the human impact of conflict—starting with a stronger commitment to upholding the rules of war.” “The magnitude of destruction we see in today’s conflict zones is stretching international systems to their breaking point.” Mirjana Spoljaric Egger President of the ICRC
