Did you know that when wars are fought in cities, an estimated 90% of the casualties are civilians? Even wars have limits. Civilians are not a target. #ICRC #redcross #GenevaConventions #կխմկ

Did you know that the environment is protected by the rules of war? This is because over 80% of the world's conflicts take place in biodiverse hotspots.

Surviving armed conflicts or violence doesn’t always mean being free from its effects. Psychosocial support should not be a luxury: It is an essential part of recovery. #հոգեկանառողջություն #mentalhealth #ICRC #humanitarianissues #ԿԽՄԿ

Faster decisions in war do not always mean safer outcomes for civilians. As AI is increasingly used in military operations, it can raise serious risks when life-or-death decisions depend on systems that may be unpredictable, biased, or difficult to control. 🤖Learn more: ms.spr.ly/6013aUQY3

Trauma can change how people experience everyday life, turning familiar sounds into reminders of danger and moments of safety into feelings of uncertainty. Mental health support can help people deal/cope with traumatic experiences and begin to rebuild a sense of safety in their lives.

Over 130 armed conflicts are raging today, twice as many as 15 years ago. Wars are growing more complex, and trapping entire generations. Why does it matter to legally classify armed conflicts? Because it makes the laws of war apply, obliging all sides to limit suffering. #ICRC

Parties to conflicts must ensure autonomous weapons respect the rules of war, protect civilians, and preserve moral responsibility. #AI #IHL #կխմկ #ICRC

In armed conflict, hunger should never become a weapon. Protecting the resources people depend on and ensuring humanitarian relief can reach those in need are essential to preventing food insecurity from deepening into a humanitarian crisis. #ICRC #IHL

Protecting humanitarian personnel is not a favour to our organizations. It is an obligation and, more importantly, a lifeline for people affected by armed conflicts, violence and crises. #ICRC #ourwork #IHL #կխմկ

In armed conflicts, teachers help students continue learning, maintain a sense of normality and keep communities connected. On #WorldTeachersDay, we recognize teachers who continue to teach in some of the most difficult circumstances and the vital role they play in protecting the right to education. Also, they play a key role in supporting the ICRC’s mission to disseminate the rules of war worldwide, helping educate lawyers and other professionals to promote respect for international humanitarian law. Thank you, teachers! ✏️
Education is not a peacetime luxury. Teachers must be protected. Students must be protected. Schools must be protected.

In armed conflicts, civilians remain protected at all times: it doesn’t matter if they stay or if they leave. International humanitarian law (IHL) prohibits ordering civilians to leave their homes, with narrow exceptions for their safety or military necessity. Learn more 👉🏽 ms.spr.ly/6013aYyIv
International humanitarian law (IHL) prohibits ordering civilians to leave their homes, with narrow exceptions for their safety or military necessity. When civilians are displaced for any reason, IHL requires the party to do everything possible to ensure that they are received under satisfactory conditions of shelter, hygiene, health, safety and nutrition and that members of the same family are not separated. In armed conflicts, civilians remain protected at all times: it doesn\u2019t matter if they stay or if they leave.

For people living through armed conflict, the effects of violence, loss, displacement and uncertainty can extend far beyond physical safety, affecting mental health long after the immediate danger has passed. #կխմկ #ICRC #հոգեսոցիալական #հոգեկան #առողջություն #MentalHealth

After World War II, the world made a promise: even in war, there are limits we must never cross. That promise became the Geneva Conventions, a universal commitment to protect civilians, the wounded, prisoners of war and humanitarian workers, among others. #IHL #ICRC

Civilians must be protected and respected, always. Parties to conflicts are the only ones with enough power to enforce the rules of war, transform them into reality, and save lives.
Before every act in war, remember the faces behind the consequences. Civilians are not a target.
