Urge the Swiss Federal Council and Parliament to take stronger action for Lebanon
🇱🇧🇨ðŸ‡
Hands off Lebanon!
Hands off Lebanon!
We, Swiss citizens, would like to express our concern at the current situation in Lebanon.
We take pride in the fact that Switzerland has always played an essential role in building bridges between nations, ensuring respect for international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions.

We are however alarmed that Switzerland has so far failed to properly respond to the war in Lebanon. Switzerland's silence following the violent attacks on Lebanese territory, and the loss of innocent civilians, journalists and medical workers is deafening.

We urge the Swiss Federal Council and Parliament to take clear action:
👉 to initiate further procedures with the belligerents to ensure the respect of international humanitarian law.

👉 to have Switzerland and the FDFA (Federal Department of Foreign Affairs) publicly denounce the numerous attacks on civilians in Lebanon.

👉 to allocate financial resources to address the humanitarian crisis in Lebanon, which is already facing over one million displaced persons.
We believe Switzerland is a well-placed actor to step up and defend international humanitarian law.
