In response to the dire needs of people affected by conflict and other violence, the ICRC continues to consolidate our operations, reinforcing key areas in line with our Strategy 2024–2027. 

Strengthening protection for conflict-affected people and promoting IHL as a global political priority will be key areas of focus, with the aim of ending and preventing violations of this law and other applicable norms. In parallel, we will work to address the humanitarian implications of modern warfare through enhanced thought leadership and adapted responses. We will continue to bolster our emergency-response capacities, particularly in areas where our unique expertise and access enable us to have a distinct impact. Support for positive coping strategies and building long-term resilience in places affected by the cumulative effects of protracted conflict will continue.

Crucial to these efforts are our partnerships within the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and with local actors, as well as our engagement with a diverse range of stakeholders, all of which enable an impactful humanitarian response.
