-الحويجة كما اخبرنا ساكنوها. / Hawija as told by residents (ARAB) - PAX PoC Conference 2021

On December 1-3, 2021, PAX brought together PoC partners to discuss three key themes: international support to local security actors, accountability for military missions, and PoC champions in the future of warfare.
On day 2 (theme: Accountability for military missions), Sabhan Khalaf Ali (Mayor of Hawija, Iraq) and Tofan Abdulwahhab Awad (General Director at Al-Ghad League for Woman and Child Care) engaged in an interactive discussion on the Dutch-led bombing raid on the Iraqi town Hawija and the (lack of) response and compensation to harmed civilians by the Dutch government and other involved actors.
Opening: Wilbert van der Zeijden (Team Coordinator Protection of Civilians at PAX), moderator: Saba Azeem (Project Lead Human Security Survey Iraq at PAX).
The annual PAX PoC Conferences are organized by PAX’s PoC Team in partnership with the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs. For more information about the PAX PoC Conferences, our work and other events go to www.protectionofcivilians.org.
