Origin

2025 - Third part-session

In the draft resolution, paragraph 10, replace the last sentence with the following sentence:

"The Assembly encourages the ICRC to offer its good offices to the parties to the conflict and apply a more proactive and innovative approach in general to ensuring compliance with international humanitarian law in the current environment"

Explanatory note

Russia obstructs the ICRC’s work, violating international humanitarian law. The ICRC must adopt a more proactive and innovative approach, as it has in past conflicts, to uphold its mandate in this abusive context.
