Day 1 of the CCW Universalization Workshop is over!

Participants learned more about the #CCWUN , IHL, human-centered disarmament and national implementation.

Thanks to our various speakers for their insightful presentations. 📖

EU is proud to contribute to CCW universalization efforts, e.g. funding today’s UNODA Geneva -led workshop addressed to countries of Asia and the Caucasus. Strengthening of CCW is a crucial part of International Humanitarian Law, contributing to reduce indiscriminate weapons.

Today and tomorrow, the CCW team is hosting a universalization workshop in Geneva. 🇺🇳

Looking forward to fruitful exchanges with our participants! 📚
