Last week our Global Lead @JuCodina delivered a statement to the @UN First Committee on Disarmament and Security 🇺🇳 We urged states not to accept civilian suffering from explosive weapons as “a routine feature of warfare”. #UNGA81 #StopBombingCivilians

Our statement calls out the harm that explosive weapons continue to cause in towns and cities, and call on States to endorse and implement the Political Declaration - including through changes to military policy and practice. 👉 Read the full statement: tinyurl.com/3dmc9dp8

Congratulations to Navanethem "Navi" Pillay on the 2026 #NobelPeacePrize! She has firmly and repeatedly condemned the use of explosive weapons in populated areas. As #FirstCommittee 🇺🇳 gets started, we call on all states to recognise this harm and support clear limits on #EWIPA.

Children are not simply smaller adults. They're more likely than adults to die from blast injuries, and the harm is often lifelong. At #UNGA81, @CivCenter spoke on INEW's behalf: the best way to protect children from explosive weapons is to avoid their use in populated areas.

We asked states to: review policy, doctrine and training and develop an implementation plan with specific measures for children, to track civilian harm and use the data in planning, and to report what has changed in practice. Thanks @NorwayUN @childreninwar @UNICEF and @WarChild

1/ World Humanitarian Day exists because of a bombing: the Canal Hotel in Baghdad, 2003. 23 years on, aid and health workers are still killed by explosive weapons in populated areas. In 2025, attacks on aid operations ⬆️ 52%

This harm is not inevitable. The International Network on Explosive Weapons calls on all states to restrict the use of explosive weapons where civilians live, and to endorse and implement the Political Declaration #WorldHumanitarianDay

A light moment to close two intense days of dialogue, commitment, and collective action. Because protecting civilians is serious work — but the community behind it is full of heart. #EWIPA #StopBombingCivilians
