It also reports on actions taken by states towards addressing this harm to civilians through the universalization and implementation of the Political Declaration. As harm to civilians from the use of explosive weapons continues to cause widespread devastation and suffering to civilians, it remains a critical humanitarian priority to bring the Declaration into effect to prevent and reduce harm to civilians."}},{"id":"4","attributes":{"title":"Working Paper: Strengthening the collection of data on the indirect or reverberating effects of the use of explosive weapons in populated areas ","date":"April 2024","thematicCategory":null,"publicationType":"Brief","downloadUrl":"https://ewm.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/ewm/UNIDIR_Explosive_Weapons_Monitor_Working_paper_on_strengthening_the_collection_of_data_on_indirect_or_reverberating_effects_db71d79fdc_ec46537bce.pdf","reportPageUrl":"https://explosiveweaponsmonitor.org/reports/3/working-paper-strengthening-the-collection-of-data-on-the-indirect-or-reverberating-effects-of-the-use-of-explosive-weapons-in-populated-areas","image":{"data":[{"attributes":{"url":"https://ewm.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/ewm/oslo_conference_64e1f561c3_0a820ae83c.jpeg"}}]},"resource_copy":"This working paper, submitted by UNIDIR and the Explosive Weapons Monitor to the Oslo Conference in April 2024, summarizes key reflections arising from a multistakeholder workshop on effective measures and practices for the collection of data on the reverberating effects of the use of EWIPA on 29 February and 1 March 2024 in Geneva.
