ICRC: Armed conflicts worldwide reach their highest level since World War II
François Picard is pleased to welcome the President of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Mirjana Spoljaric. “You may consider war a human condition,” argues Spoljaric. “But brutality, barbarity, is not a human condition.” Her warning recalls the fundamental premise of the 1949 Geneva Conventions: even in war, there can be no lawless space, and certain red lines must never be crossed. Spoljaric warns that the international rules established to protect civilians are being progressively weakened amid proliferating armed conflicts, technological transformations and the retreat of diplomacy. — not translated (source in a different language).

- The visible source is France 24 - English.

Why it matters
This report is assigned to the Global Security dossier. It matters because it adds a concrete new trail in the current source window. The brief uses 3 sources in the surrounding context while keeping timestamp, publisher and original URL visible.
Trust assessment
Public broadcaster or established direct source. The report remains medium until an independent second trail visibly supports the same core claim.
Editorial boundary
Still open: whether further independent sources confirm, correct or merely repeat the same development. The trust level describes the source trail, not absolute truth.
