#ProtectionofCiviliansWeek:
Proud to host today's side-event on the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention #APMBC together with @ICRC.
162 states signed the APMBC. Recent withdrawals represent an unprecedented setback & a risk of renewed APM use & a weakening of humanitarian norms.
NPA is back in Geneva! At a time when IHL is under pressure, it is vital to strengthen our presence in a key multilateral hub, bringing field realities into discussions on civilian protection and hum. disarmament. Thanks @Utenriksdept@NorwayInGeneva for making this possible💚
Congratulations to Lebanon for joining the @MineBanTreaty amid ongoing conflict and invasion. This is an important step to strengthen the norm against anti-personnel mines and protect civilians from long-lasting harm. https://t.co/OslutZms19 @NorwayinLeb_Syr
Congratulations 🇱🇧 on acceding to the Mine Ban Convention - a welcome and important step👏
🇳🇴remains a long‑term partner in mine action, working with Lebanese authorities and partners including @NPAdisarm and @MAGsaveslives to support implementation on the ground.
A significant milestone: Lebanon has acceded to the Mine Ban Convention and is now a full State Party. Norway is committed to supporting mine action, working with national authorities & partners such as @NPAdisarm & @MAGsaveslives to translate commitments into safer communities.
Renewed partnership at #NDMUN29🤝Amb. @TPrivitelli & Rune Kristian Dale-Andresen signed an MoU between the GICHD & @NPAdisarm, reaffirming a long-standing collaboration in global mine action & ammunition management. For the 100M+ people affected globally by landmines & other EO.
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
Well done @RavnateljstvoCZ! Dep. PM & Interior Minister @DavorBozinovic announced that—after nearly 30 yrs of sustained effort—#Croatia is now free of all known #landmine contamination. A milestone reflecting decades of courage & dedication https://t.co/qp0OH9Sc0u @CROinUNGeneva
☄️ 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!
NEW: The Israeli military unlawfully used white phosphorus over homes on March 3, 2026, in the Lebanese town of Yohmor.
The use of white phosphorus over residential areas is extremely alarming and will have dire consequences for civilians.

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. https://t.co/w34TodP8eV
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.
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: https://t.co/2XHtDRaySJ 1/2 #22MSP
