Did #IHL apply to the situation in the State of Sverada? Did the defendant commit the war crimes of hostage-taking and recruiting children into the armed group he was leading? The Prosecutor and Defense argue during the final of the 11th National IHL Moot Court in Abuja

And now the stellar @jlgrgn on the very tricky issue of terrorism and IHL: how to qualify an act of terrorism vis-à-vis a crime de guerre? It is so great to have @jlgrgn in The Hague to discuss such a topical issue. Interaction is 🔥

Congratulations 🇮🇪 and all involved for the adoption of the Political Declaration on Explosive Weapons in Populated areas! A critical milestone for States to recognise the devastating humanitarian consequences of #EWIPA and shifting the mindset towards much more restrictive use.

📍Mali. 📍Niger. 📍Mauritania. 📍Burkina Faso. Violence in the central #Sahel is fueling a food crisis. In some places, it even instigates one. More than 10.5 million people in the region face hunger.

We arrived at the office this morning to see a beautiful present waiting for us outside. When I asked Aji Bukar why he is gifting this to the #ICRC, he replied: “because you bring good into the world” What a great reminder of why we must continue doing the work we do.
