Two Years of Global Harm to Civilians from the Use of Explosive Weapons
In this episode, the Explosive Weapons Monitor and partners discuss the key findings from its new report, 'Two Years of Global Harm to Civilians from the Use of Explosive Weapons (2021-2022),' released on 24 April 2023.
The report identifies patterns of harm from the use of explosive weapons around the globe and, in doing so, demonstrates a clear need to mitigate risk to civilians, to take steps to prevent the harm to civilians caused by the use of explosive weapons, and to provide necessary and lifesaving assistance to victims and survivors. As a result, the report reinforces existing understandings of civilian harm and bolsters efforts to address it, including through implementation of the commitments in the recently adopted Political Declaration on Strengthening the Protection of Civilians from the Humanitarian Consequences arising from the use of Explosive Weapons in Populated Areas.
