Resolution on ‘Protecting civilians and other protected persons and objects against the potential human cost of ICT activities during armed conflict’
In October 2024, all states and National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies convened in Geneva for the 34th International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
In this unique humanitarian forum, participants adopted a groundbreaking resolution on “Protecting civilians and other protected persons and objects against the potential human cost of ICT activities during armed conflict.
The resolution presents a shared concern about the harm caused by the use of ICT activities during armed conflict, a commitment to protect the civilian population against ICT threats during armed conflict, and highlights key IHL obligations that all belligerents must respect in their use of ICTs.
