New spot for Mediterranean cuisine opens in Charlottetown | SaltWireGENEVA - On the square across from the United Nations in Geneva, Swiss-French artist SAYPE has used eco-friendly paint to create a giant fresco intended to draw attention to the plight of civilians in armed conflicts.
The three-legged Broken Chair, a work by Swiss artist Daniel Berset erected on Place des Nations in 1997, was designed to raise awareness about the impact of landmines on civilians in conflict zones. "In my mind, this hand represents the whole world and that we can all get involved and help Handicap International in its fight."
It assists vulnerable populations around the world, including civilians who have lost limbs due to armed conflict.The number of people killed or wounded by cluster munitions has increased massively and the destruction in June of the Kakhovka dam and resulting flooding has most likely displaced many mines, creating more danger for civilians.
