@BudrysKestutis @UN @MineBanTreaty Heartbreaking news. Your people will suffer most from any use of AP mines. Children's lives and legs are at risk.

[Tamar Gabelnick @TamarGabelnick]

@visegrad24 Landmines are indiscriminate, inhumane weapons that end up killing mostly innocent civilians. When you start dismantling your intl humanitarian law obligations, where does it end? @minefreeworld

I was honored to receive an award on behalf of #ICBL from HE Ly Thuch, #Cambodia President of the #SiemReapSummit on #Minefreeworld for global campaign's "tireless efforts & unwavering dedication" to eliminating landmines and protecting civilians. @minefreeworld

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.

[NPA Mine Action and Disarmament @NPAdisarm]

🚨This is illegal & unacceptable!

🇺🇦 is a State Party to the @MineBanTreaty & cannot use these illegal weapons.

AP mines kill & maim civilians, block humanitarian access, hinder return of refugees & IDPs, harm livelihoods, hinder development during & decades after conflict!

@nuclearban Great to see the power of survivor advocates being recognized! Congratulations!!!!

Well said, #Belgium! Condemning #Lithuania’s withdrawal and highlighting that humanitarian costs always outweighed military benefits. In the Ukraine war, the use of cluster bombs by both warring sides has only brought suffering, with no winners #12MSPCCM

CMC Statement on Universalization during the #12MSPCMC meeting in Geneva.

[Convention on Cluster Munitions @ISUCCM]

Challenges to the CCM Norm include the recent and ongoing transfers of cluster munitions by states not party. New Zealand calls on @LithuaniaGovt to reconsider its action to withdraw from @ISUCCM and calls on all States to uphold universalization obligations - @NZUNGVA #CCM12MSP

[Convention on Cluster Munitions @ISUCCM]

.@NorwayInGeneva regrets decision by @LithuanianGovt to withdraw from the @ISUCCM, will continue to encourage their reconsidering. The harm from #clustermunitions use in #Ukraine is widespread and will have long-term impact. #CCM12MSP General Exchange

[Convention on Cluster Munitions @ISUCCM]

Canada stresses states not party to the @ISUCCM are also bound by #IHL and the norms governing use of indiscriminate weapons. Canada regrets move by @LithuanianGovt to withdraw from the @ISUCCM. #CCM12MSP General Exchange

[Convention on Cluster Munitions @ISUCCM]

Lao PDR is deeply concerned at prospect of State Party leaving the Convention, Laos has been a steadfast supporter of the #CCM since it hosted the 1MSP. #CCM12MSP
