The humanitarian situation is steadily worsening and it is affecting,
directly or indirectly, all Iraqis. Protecting Iraq’s civilian population
must be a priority, and the ICRC urgently calls for better respect for
international humanitarian law. It appeals to all those with military or
political influence on the ground to act now to ensure that the lives of
ordinary Iraqis are spared and protected. This is an obligation under
international humanitarian law for both States and non-State
actors. |
