Balloon tank parked outside U.N. to protest Ukraine, other bombings

GENEVA – A life-sized tank made out of vibrant balloons was parked outdoors the United Nations workplace in Geneva, Switzerland, on Tuesday to protest the bombing and shelling of civilians in city areas of Ukraine and elsewhere.

The tank made largely of pink, purple, yellow and blue biodegradable latex balloons was positioned by Handicap Worldwide on the launch of its “Cease Bombing Civilians” marketing campaign. Passers-by took turns to put in writing “STOP“ in markers on the balloons.

“The intention is to denounce this barbaric follow,” the affiliation mentioned and referred to victims amongst civilians in Syria, Yemen, Iraq and Ukraine. Negotiators from round 70 international locations will meet in Geneva April 6-8 to draft an settlement on lowering civilian hurt from the usage of explosive weapons in populated areas.

The tank stands subsequent to a well-known “Damaged Chair” sculpture, which symbolises the marketing campaign in opposition to landmines.
