Geneva meeting aims to reach draft agreement on restricting explosives in wake of shelling in Ukraine
Sixty countries will meet in Geneva from Wednesday to discuss curbs on the use of heavy bombs in urban areas in the wake of intense fighting in Ukraine believed to have killed and injured thousands in cities such as Mariupol.
The three-day conference, supported by the UN secretary general, aims to produce a draft international agreement to restrict use of indiscriminate bombing in cities, which statistics show overwhelmingly leads to the death of civilians.
