Full statement by PAX for Peace on US decision to transfer anti-personnel mines to Ukraine: paxforpeace.nl/news/pax-conde…

We are deeply concerned by the news of another US transfer of APmines to Ukraine. We urge the US to reverse this decision, in line with its own APmine policy, and Ukraine to uphold its legally binding obligations under the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention   npaid.org/news/npa-conde…

The U.S. Campaign to Ban Landmines strongly condemns the second transfer of internationally-banned antipersonnel landmines in less than two weeks. We urge the Biden administration to reverse this decision immediately - our statement: banminesusa.org/news/2024/12/0…

Antipersonnel landmines are indiscriminate weapons that pose significant harm to civilians, especially children. The Landmine Monitor 2024 found that civilians made up 84% of all recorded casualties in 2023.

The ICBL strongly condemns the second #US transfer of antipersonnel mines to #Ukraine. The people of Ukraine have suffered enough from massive Russian mine use. ICBL calls on Ukraine to respect the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention and refuse this deadly gift. icblcmc.org/our-impact/icb…

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!

25 years of progress under the #MineBanTreaty. Today: Production. - 1999: 50+ countries produced anti-personnel mines. - 2024: 12 states (all non-parties) retain production capabilities. Progress is real, but the work continues for a #MineFreeWorld!

Continuing our 25-Year Overview of the #MBT's impact: Casualties. - 1999: 25,000 casualties/year & 0 states recognized responsibility for victims. - 2024: 6,000 casualties/year & 38 States Parties committed to victim assistance. Progress is real, but 6,000 is still too many!

Season’s Greetings from all of us at ICBL-CMC! 🎉🎉🎉 Thank you to our incredible supporters and campaigners. Here’s to a 2025 that brings us closer to a world free of landmines and cluster munitions. #MineFreeWorld #BanClusterMunitions #HumanitarianDisarmament #ICBLCMC

25-Year Overview of the #MineBanTreaty: Contamination & Clearance. - 1999: 99 states/areas contaminated with landmines. - 2024: Down to 58, thanks to steady clearance efforts. Each landmine cleared brings communities closer to safety and peace. #EndLandmines #MineFreeWorld

25-Year of the #MBT: International Support. - 1999: 17 donors, ~$200M/year for mine action. - 2024: 34 donors, $798M/year, totaling $11.76B since 1999. Funding has been vital to clearance, victim support & preventing casualties. Continued investment is key to a #MineFreeWorld!

Wrapping up our 25-Year Overview of the #MBT: Stockpiles. - 1999: 250M landmines stockpiled, 94 States Parties held stocks. - 2024: Reduced to 53M, with just 2 SP (Ukraine & Greece) holding stockpiles. The goal: Zero stockpiles for a safer, mine-free world. #MineFreeWorld

#Finland & #Lithuania: AP #landmines will do nothing for your defense but cause horrific injuries to your innocent people. Keep on board the #MineBanTreaty Gintautas Paluckas Gitanas Nausėda Seimas | #StandWithUkraine Petteri Orpo bit.ly/4gLAcCZ

#Finland & #Lithuania: Do you want to stand with Russia, Myanmar, North Korea, and Iran? These are the only countries still using landmines. Don’t join them. #MineBanTreaty bit.ly/4j9oS58 Gintautas Paluckas Gitanas Nausėda Seimas | #StandWithUkraine Petteri Orpo

A decision to withdraw from MBT would align #Finland and #Lithuania with the same military values as Russia, Myanmar, North Korea, and Iran, the only countries whose armies actively use AP mines. Stay on the right side of history! bit.ly/3WmpD17 bit.ly/4fYjK11
