Repeated calls by the international community for protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure, and respect for International Humanitarian Law (IHL) remain unheeded. We, once again, underscore the need for the parties to abide by their obligations under international law, including International Humanitarian Law, without any exception.

There is an urgent need to reverse this perilous momentum. Primary responsibility for this rests with the parties. We firmly believe that for sustainable peace to return to the region, primacy must be given to dialogue and diplomacy, eschewing the quest for military ascendency.
