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/Screenshot_2024_10_15_at_1_21_17_PM_f1948383a7.png"}}]},"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.
