Congratulations @CROinUNGeneva 🇭🇷👏! We are glad we had an opportunity to in part contribute to your efforts. Other countries should follow #Croatia’s example & get rid of the indiscriminate AP mines once and for all! #MineFreeWorld

☄️ White phosphorus burns through people, animals, plants and objects. Its unlawful use as verified by @hrw is unacceptable! Civilians mist be protected at all times!

Important new report from Norwegian People's Aid on the ongoing harm and unmet needs for justice: recognition, apology, care, compensation, monitoring and clean-up from over 2000 explosive nuclear tests worldwide. AFP story: france24.com/en/live-news/2… Report: npaid.org/news/new-repor…

A new report from Norwegian People’s Aid looks at the ongoing humanitarian and environmental consequences of nuclear testing. It calls for long-overdue action to support the survivors and remediate contaminated environments. npaid.org/publications/i…

NPA remains committed to supporting nationally led, effective #MineAction. At the #22MSP of the @MineBanTreaty, NPA's Hans Risser shared lessons from our capacity development work with National Mine Action Authorities in Mozambique, South Sudan and Cambodia.

This week at @MineBanTreaty #22MSP in @UNGeneva, States and civil society are affirming the importance of this landmark disarmament Convention. We’ve heard some important updates on progress in #landmine clearance, but are concerned the pace of clearance is too slow in many affected countries. Read ‘Clearing the Mines 2025’ to see the current status and what’s needed to drive forward #clearance and achieve completion. mineactionreview.org

En el marco de la #22MSP, la diplomática Andrea Quezada Carrasco participó en la exposición “Un Mundo Libre de Minas”, que visibiliza el trabajo del desminado humanitario. Una de las protagonistas de la exhibición fue Hunky, una Pastor Belga Malinois detectora de minas @NPAdisarm

#22MSP | Destacamos y valoramos el trabajo de @minefreeworld y @NPAdisarm, así como el de todas las personas que contribuyen al desminado humanitario, una labor esencial para la protección de la vida civil y la construcción de espacios seguros.#DesminadoHumanitario #MineFreeWorld

Today, the Convention on Cluster Munitions celebrates the 17th anniversary of its signing in Oslo in 2008.  After 17 years of important humanitarian disarmament achievements, the Presidency of the Lao PDR invites all to the incoming third Review Conference in Vientiane next year

At the MBT #22MSP, @BelgiumUNGeneva hosted a roundtable with H.R.H. Princess Astrid @MonarchieBe, HRH Prince Mired of #Jordan and civil society. NPA underlined the need to keep supporting countries with legacy contamination so they can finish clearance and meet their obligations.

Don't miss the interactive exhibit by @minefreeworld @NPAdisarm on #landmine clearance at Salle de Pas Perdus @UNGeneva including a very clever demining #dog #22MSP - exhibit ends on Wed 3 Dec #Geneva #Genève

Our new joint report with @NPAdisarm is a technical report but its also really exciting. It details the roll-out of the Green Field Tool for #MineAction in 7 of NPA's country programmes. We developed the tool together and now it's in the wild: ceobs.org/strengthening-… 1/2 #22MSP

🌍 At #22MSP in Geneva, NPA & @ceobs_org launched a new report showing how extreme weather, flooding, heat stress , and even shifting contamination are already affecting mine action. The Green Field Tool helps assess risks and plan safer operations💚 npaid.org/mine-action-an…

📍Join the NPA & @ceobs_org #22MSP side event this afternoon to learn how #MineAction programmes are embedding the IMAS 07.13, the Green Field Tool, and other climate and environment frameworks in the field. 📅 13:00–14:30 📌 Concordia 5 (2nd floor)

We’re in @UNGeneva for the #22MSP of the @MineBanTreaty, ready for a week of critical discussions to strengthen the protection of civilians, uphold the norm, and push for timely implementation💚 #solidarityinaction #minefreeworld

#22MSP Under Secretary General and UN High Representative for Disarmament Izumi Nakamitsu @INakamitsu delivers powerful remarks by emphasizing that the @minebantreaty does not allow for "suspension" and calls for States to reverse their decisions to withdraw. @ODA_Geneva
