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

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 ICBL's event on the 2024 Landmine Monitor, reporting the most mine casualties since 2011, with more than 1/3 being children.

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

"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 ICBL statement at #SiemReapSummit.

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 ICBL Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention

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

#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 ICBL The Monitor has collected this data for decades

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

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!

Every day, according to the The Monitor, 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.

Protection of civilians under the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention & Convention on Cluster Munitions (Convention on Cluster Munitions) 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

📢We strongly condemn Poland & the Baltic states’ intention to withdraw from Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention. 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…
