Best practice for debris management after #EWIPA is available from @UNDP @UNEP @DisasterWaste & @EnvironmentOcha but states often need technical assistance to implement it. The declaration should encourage this.

Language on environmentally sound debris management following the use of #EWIPA would help align the declaration with #UNEA resolutions on conflict pollution and on solid waste and contribute to reducing health and environmental risks https://ceobs.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/CEOBS_proposed_amends_EWIPA_dec_draft_290121.pdf

Reaching Critical Will@RCW_

At #EWIPA consultations, @detoxconflict speaks to section 4, recommending a new 4.6 encouraging signatories to support work to identify and implement best practice on environmentally-sound management of conflict-related debris.

Linsey delivering our remarks on the #EWIPA political declaration just now: "Increasing attention is being paid to the relationship between environmental protection and the protection of civilians, and this declaration should reflect this" https://ceobs.org/comments-on-the-draft-political-declaration-on-explosive-weapons-in-populated-areas

Though it could well be argued that this isn't a declaration on virtually anything but one on explosive weapons. #EWIPA

Reaching Critical Will@RCW_

Israel argues that the #EWIPA declaration should be widened to include other elements of "urban warfare". Also argues that the environment can be harmed by "virtually anything" and not just #ExplosiveWeapons. Argues the justification of including this is unclear.

"The issue of security cannot be resolved with weapons alone." Virunga national park in the #DRC is a prime example of where hard security solutions alone cannot address the underlying issues that drive insecurity.

Richard Pearshouse@RPearshouse

DRC’s famous Virunga national park: “It's estimated that a dozen or so armed militia groups survive off the park's resources - poaching or chopping down wood to sell for fuel.” https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-55829330
