On the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict, let's recognize the crucial role of the Geneva Convention and International Humanitarian Law in combating this devastating issue. By respecting and enforcing these legal frameworks, we can ensure that perpetrators are held accountable and survivors receive the justice and support they deserve. #EndSexualViolence #GenevaConvention #IHL #EndSexualViolence #JusticeForSurvivors #HumanRights

Respecting #IHL is paramount to safeguarding human rights. Understanding the distinction between targetable and #NotATarget entities ensures civilian protection in armed conflicts. Let's prioritize sense of duty and cooperation in military training. 🕊️ #IHL #HumanRights #Peace
