ECOSOC Humanitarian Segment event: ‘Impact of the use of explosive weapons in populated areas’

Hosted by Austria and OCHA, this event will take place between 08.15-09.45 in Room XXIII, Palais des Nations, Geneva, Switzerland.

Discussion will focus on evidence about the impact of explosive weapons in populated areas, including long-term effects and damage to infrastructure. It will examine how the protection of civilians from this harm can be improved through changing policy and practice, and how dialogue amongst humanitarian actors on this issue can be enhanced.

The panel, chaired by Ambassador Thomas Hajnoczi of Austria, will include Maya Brehm on behalf of Article 36, Anne Héry of Handicap International, and Hansjoerg Strohmeyer of OCHA.
