Respect for International Humanitarian Law

" On 29 January the Security Council will hold a private meeting on Maintenance of International Peace and Security: Respect for International Humanitarian Law. The meeting will focus on possible measures the Council can consider to more effectively prevent and stop violations of international humanitarian law. The ICRC, OCHA, the UN Office of Legal Affairs, OHCHR and UNHCR have been invited to brief the Council. France has prepared a concept paper for the meeting and has also proposed that the Council might adopt a presidential statement."

Let's see what comes out of the meeting. Even if the meeting is general in nature, it is still interesting in view of the violence in Gaza.
