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

[MAG (Mines Advisory Group) @MAGsaveslives]

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.

#Landmines are hidden killers waiting to claim innocent people's lives for decades. 85% of #Landmine casualties are civilians. @LithuaniaMFA @BudrysKestutis @PolandMFA @sikorskiradek @MFAestonia @Tsahkna @Latvian_MFA @Braze_Baiba
don't abandon the @MineBanTreaty

[NPA Mine Action and Disarmament @NPAdisarm]

📢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 This is not about military necessity - security in the modern world cannot be ensured by outdated and indiscriminate weapons such as AP mines.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📷👇

[FSD (Fondation suisse de déminage) @fsd__ch]

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.

[Mary Wareham @marywareham]

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: https://t.co/OUUAAVPEmC @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.

[HI_Advocacy @HI_Advocacy]

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!

[Nicholas Clutterbuck @niclutterbuck]

#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

[ICBL @minefreeworld]

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 https://t.co/u7roa0FT5X #MineBanTreaty #LandmineSurvivorsRights

As the outcome documents of the #SiemReapSummit are being finalized, let us remember the unacceptable impact antipersonnel #landmines have on children.

[GICHD @theGICHD]

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

[GICHD @theGICHD]

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.

[SEHLAC @redsehlac]

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. 💪💪

"I don’t want to see any more young people around the world become victims of these cruel weapons!"
