Well said by @ICRC Chief Legal Officer @CDroegeICRC: “In today’s conflicts, the rules are being turned on their heads, used to justify precisely what they were meant to prevent. We must put the protection of people back at the center of how these rules are interpreted.”
@ICRC has updated our Commentary to the Fourth Geneva Convention, translating 1949 protections into today’s realities. Protecting civilians in the hands of the enemy, in occupied territory - the 4th Geneva Convention remains more relevant than ever. https://t.co/rxGCvBGb9v

📍Nigeria | After surviving sexual assault, stigma & trauma left Kamilu’s daughter withdrawn and silent. With counselling at an ICRC-supported referral centre, “there’s a 100% difference now,” he says, as his daughter slowly regained confidence and reconnected with others.

📍Nigeria | 10 years ago, Falmata fled Marte for Maiduguri with her family due to armed conflict. With little to survive on, starting over was tough. Thanks to seeds and farming tools received from the ICRC, she is now able to cultivate a thriving tomato farm.
