"I would like to remind in particular, the role in analysis, study and promotion [of IHL] played for more than 50 years by the International Institute of Humanitarian Law based in San Remo. Together, we can advocate for compliance, raise awareness about violations, and support those who are striving to uphold the tenets of humanitarian law."
