The Landmine Monitor 2024 Report is here! Dive into the latest findings and continue to demand a world free of landmines. As long as casualties persist and victims remain unsupported, our work is not done. Download your copy now! #ICBL #MineFreeWorld #LM2024

Protection of civilians under the @MineBanTreaty & Convention on Cluster Munitions (@ISUCCM) should know no exception. @ICRC calls for reinforcing humanitarian norms to safeguard humanity in war, remaining committed to the international rule of law. ⬇️ buff.ly/NZajnu4

This @MineMonitor map shows the devastation caused by these hidden killers. the-monitor.org/reports/landmi…

📢We strongly condemn Poland & the Baltic states’ intention to withdraw from @MineBanTreaty. This is not about military necessity - security in the modern world cannot be ensured by outdated and indiscriminate weapons such as AP mines. Read more📷👇 npaid.org/mine-action-an…

Every day, according to the @MineMonitor, an average of 15 people were killed or injured by #mines and explosive remnants of war in 2023. Our teams are committed to #clearing the land of these deadly remnants and raising awareness about these dangers to prevent such #tragedies.

The years of Syrian government cluster munition attacks may now be over but threat from their explosive remnants remains. @hrw @MineMonitor recorded 100s of instances of use by Syrian government forces. Our first research from mid-2012: hrw.org/news/2012/07/1… @banclusterbombs

Revisiting key findings from the #LandmineMonitor2024 and highlighting 25 years of progress under the #MineBanTreaty. Starting with **Universalization** : back in 1999, 47 States Parties&150 not part vs. Nov. 2024, 164 SP & 33 yet to join. A safer world is indeed within reach!

"After the accident, I rebuild my life thanks to NGOs. #VictimAssistance still often relies on civil society organisations. States must do their part too, with no excuse, no exception, and no delay!” Says mine survivor Emilie Vath in @minefreeworld statement at #SiemReapSummit.

Srey Nang, on #LandmineMonitor2024 's cover, is one of many survivors worldwide who need lifelong support. However, most landmine accidents happen in countries where health & rehabilitation services are scarce! 📢#VictimAssistance is primordial! Report: the-monitor.pulse.ly/hpisaepgut

#Landmines are cruel weapons, however you look at them. Often waiting silently for their victim long after conflict has faded. 90% of their victims are civilians & 45% of those are children ‼️ We know this because @minefreeworld @MineMonitor has collected this data for decades

At #SiemReapSummit, states reaffirm 0 tolerance for landmines despite US-Ukraine transfer. New 5-year Action Plan adopted with focus on funding & risk education. ICBL work was crucial defending the treaty bit.ly/4gcFKG5 #MineBanTreaty #LandmineSurvivorsRights

Read the @MineMonitor background paper on the proposal for a voluntary trust fund for completion of @MineBanTreaty clearance obligations. ➡️ backend.icblcmc.org/assets/Resourc… #SiemReapSummit @minefreeworld

As the outcome documents of the #SiemReapSummit are being finalized, let us remember the unacceptable impact antipersonnel #landmines have on children. 👉 backend.icblcmc.org/assets/Resourc… #MineSurvivorsRights @minefreeworld @MineBanTreaty

The #SiemReapSummit is an important moment for this conversation on the situation of AP mine contamination globally, incl the rise in use of improvised mines, promising land released from survey (TS/NTS) and noted opportunity for more disaggregated data & funding to national orgs

9 years after losing her leg from an EO accident, survivor Srey wants to be a doctor and help her family build a house. She shared her story at @minefreeworld's event on the 2024 Landmine Monitor, reporting the most mine casualties since 2011, with more than 1/3 being children.

En la #5RevCon se realizó el evento paralelo en el que se presentó @MineMonitor 2024 Mientras sigan ocurriendo víctimas y no se brinde apoyo a los afectados, nuestro trabajo no estará terminado. 💪💪 Descargalo ➡️ the-monitor.org/reports/landmi… @minefreeworld

Grateful to survivor Srey Neang for her presence and testimony during the @MineMonitor briefing for delegates at #SiemReapSummit #MineSurvivorsRights @minefreeworld @MineBanTreaty
