Humanitarian workers play a vital role in responding to public health emergencies in affected communities. Attacks against humanitarian workers are unacceptable and must stop.

We mourn with the @UgandaRedCross for the loss of Ismael.

The ICRC continues to call for the protection of humanitarian workers and respect for International Humanitarian Law and the rule of law. Those carrying out humanitarian work must be allowed to do so safely and without fear of attack. @ICRC_Africa
Attacks against humanitarian personnel are unacceptable and must stop.

We mourn the tragic loss of Ismael Mulindwa, an ambulance driver with @UgandaRedCross, who was injured during a violent incident while carrying out his humanitarian duties in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, as part of the Ebola response. On 1st October, he succumbed to his injuries.

Our profound condolences go out to his family, friends, and colleagues.

The ICRC, in collaboration with @MODVA_UPDF, conducted a two-day training on International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and ICRC-related protection activities for 25 Officers of the Chief of Defence Intelligence and Security (CDIS) of the Uganda Peoples' Defence Forces (UPDF) in Kampala.

During the sessions, the Officers got a moment to share experiences, deepen understanding and shared commitment to protecting people affected by conflict. @ICRC_Africa

Today, the ICRC, together with Uganda’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Uganda Red Cross Society, convened key national stakeholders including the Office of the Prime Minister, UPDF, Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, and Ministry of Internal Affairs to discuss the revitalization of Uganda’s National IHL Committee.

Strong national ownership is essential to translating International Humanitarian Law into practice. This dialogue marks an important step in strengthening Uganda’s efforts to implement IHL and, together, bring IHL home.
