“Protecting humanity in war is not a dream — it’s an achievable necessity that demands political courage and moral clarity.” Pierre Krähenbühl speaking at Global Security Forum, underlining the urgent need to restore respect for international humanitarian law. #GSF2025





What are the mandate and working methods of the ICRC? Ms. Simona Schwitter, Dr. Nele Verlinden and Mr. Eloi Fillion from ICRC Brussels helped participants understand the interactions and relationships between the ICRC and the EU. #EUDiplomacy



As conflicts multiply, #IHL is under pressure. Humanitarian principles are being challenged. Neutrality is misunderstood. Access is shrinking. Aid workers are at risk. At the European Parliament, we called on the #EU to keep upholding humanity in war. 📽️ 👇

Next week we’ll be at #EHF2025 with RedCrossEU to bring the voice of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. We’ll address today’s challenges. From growing conflicts to hurdles faced by frontline humanitarians, and explore solutions. Stay tuned 👇 ms.spr.ly/6011Sw40J

“Through direct dialogue with state and non-state armed groups, we raise the voices of people affected by war. It’s hard to measure, but this work can prevent the worst horrors of conflict.” Eloi Fillion at #EHF2025



“As a neutral actor, we speak to all sides to ensure respect for #IHL, protect vital services, and safely deliver aid - like in DRC, where we also supported the transport of 1,395 disarmed members of the armed forces and their families.” Patrick Youssef at #EHF2025


Thanks to EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺 and Polish presidency of the Council of the EU for organizing #EHF2025.


As discussions on preparedness increase in Europe, protecting civilians must remain a priority. At the #EHF2025, the Red Cross is united in emphasizing the centrality of international humanitarian law as these discussions progress - both inside and outside Europe. RedCrossEU
