Final consultation on a political declaration to protect civilians from explosive weapons
States, civil society, and international organisations will meet in Geneva on 17 June 2022 to finalise a milestone international agreement on the use of explosive weapons in populated areas.
In this episode, coordinator of the International Network on Explosive Weapons (INEW) Laura Boillot, senior researcher at Human Rights Watch Bonnie Docherty and executive director of Project Ploughshares Cesar Jaramillo discuss the final text, which will be presented to states at the meeting.
More than 65 states have participated in this political declaration process, including some major users of explosive weapons. Once the text is finalised, the International Network on Explosive Weapons (INEW) will call on all states to join the political declaration at the earliest opportunity and, in doing so, to demonstrate their commitment to strengthening the protection of civilians in armed conflict.
