At Dublin Castle I laid a wreath to an Unknown Civilian, a moving reminder of the devastating human cost when bombs fall in cities.

Lost lives. Lost limbs. Crumbled homes. Crushed dreams.

Today, when 🇭🇷 remembers the victims of Vukovar and Škabrnja, #EWIPADublin adopted the Political Declaration on strengthening the protection of civilians from the use of explosive weapons in populated areas. 🇭🇷 continues to support this important initiative to protect civilians.

'States will never accept limits on explosive weapons', they said. 'They'll never agree a political declaration'. Yet here we are, a decade on, 70+ states signing the #EWIPA declaration. Always good to take the long view and ignore the sceptics. #EWIPA Dublin #ExplosiveWeapons

When explosive weapons are used in populated areas, 90 per cent of victims are civilians.

We welcome the #EWIPADublin declaration on the use of #explosiveweapons .

🎙️Nujeen Mustafa This is a reminder for everyone that when civilians are bombed it’s not only their lives, cities &homes that are lost but also their future
I hope that this declaration will not be just a piece of paper –but will be the beginning of a real change!🌹
