The Use of Explosive Weapons in Syria: a Time Bomb in the Making
Posted on May 11, 2015 7:01 PM
Handicap International warns that excessive weapons contamination in Syria is putting the lives of 5.1 million Syrians—including 2 million children—at high risk. In a report released today, “The Use of Explosive Weapons in Syria: A Time Bomb in the Making,” Handicap International calls on all parties to the Syrian conflict to abide by their obligations under international humanitarian law, and to immediately end the use of explosive weapons in populated areas. The international community must urgently respond to the danger that civilians are in as a result of living in such close proximity to those weapons.
