🎙️ À l’occasion du 25e anniversaire de l’organisation, Alain Délétroz revient sur les grands enjeux de la protection des civils en zones de guerre, ainsi que sur le travail mené auprès des groupes armés. #ProtectionDesCivils #DroitInternationalHumanitaire www.lemanbleu.ch/fr/Actualite...

On this #WorldHumanitarianDay, we demand action for humanitarians. We condemn the failure to protect them and those they serve. We remember those we’ve lost and say: end impunity. #ActforHumanity

The normalization of violence against humanitarian workers and lack of accountability must end. Humanitarian personnel, assets and space to operate must be protected. Attacks on them must stop.

This #WorldHumanitarianDay, we honour those who protect humanity, and those we've lost. In conflicts around the world, civilians suffer. Aid workers are attacked. International Humanitarian Law is ignored. Accountability is urgent. #ActForHumanity www.genevacall.org/news/not-jus...

On #WorldHumanitarianDay on 19 August, we honour humanitarian workers everywhere, commemorate those we have lost to increasing violence, and rally support for people affected by crises around the world.
