We @ICRC surveyed more than 16,000 millennials in 16 countries and territories about their views on #conflict, #warfare and the values underpinning international humanitarian law. There are both encouraging and worrying findings- see thread. #IHL #IntLaw

47% believe it's more likely than not that there will be a third World War in their lifetime. #WWIII

@antonioguterres @CrisisGroup

While 84% find the use of #NuclearWeapons never acceptable, 54% believe it likely that a nuclear attack will occur in the next decade.

#NuclearBan @nuclearban @globalzero

41% believe that #torture is acceptable under some circumstances. Even after having the UN Convention against Torture explained to them, 37% still find torture acceptable under some circumstances.

@Modvig @NilsMelzer @antitorture_WCL @REDRESSTrust @apt_geneva @cti2024 On #autonomous robots and drones replacing human combatants: 36% believe that these will increase civilian casualties in wars and armed conflict (32% say lower, 24% say no difference). #BanKillerRobots #IHL

@Modvig @NilsMelzer @antitorture_WCL @REDRESSTrust @apt_geneva @cti2024 @klawandICRC @BanKillerRobots @HRWTech 75% believe that there remains a need to impose limits on how wars can be fought. However, only 54% of respondents have heard of the Geneva Conventions - highest: #Syria 81%, #Russia 76%, #Ukraine 76%, #France 75%, #Switzerland 74%. #IHL #RulesofWar #LOAC

While they didn't start the fire, the majority of #millennials see catastrophic war as real possibility, and believe there should be limits. Hear their voices. @ICRC
