The #ClusterMunition Convention has achieved great success.
👉99% of the stockpiles of States Parties have been destroyed, totaling 178.5 million submunitions.

[Marion Guillaumont @Marion_Gmt]

▶️Because 90% of the victims of #ClusterMunitions are civilians
▶️Because many submunitions fail to explode on initial impact (up to 40%) and their remnants contaminate lands for decades
▶️Because children account for 71% of casualties from these #ClusterMunitionRemnants

[HI_Advocacy @HI_Advocacy]

In 14 years, the #ClusterMunition Convention @ISUCCM has created ostracism of these weapon beyond states parties.
📢States must protect this life-saving convention from all attempts to weaken it!

With "allies" like these, who needs Vladimir Putin? @banclusterbombs @ISUCCM @NPAdisarm @ICRC @alma_osta https://t.co/WyoSWSiFYe

290 #RedBallons marking 290 days of war on #Gaza appeared as the EU #FAC started this morning.
Time is running out. The #EU MUST ACT NOW!

It's absurd to hear such proposals in this day and age. How can any modern country even consider reintroducing landmines? These weapons belong in the past, having proven far more harmful to civilians than militarily useful #MineFreeWorld #Finland

[Convention on Cluster Munitions @ISUCCM]

The @ISUCCM regrets today's Lithuanian Parliament decision to evoke Article 20 (2-3) to withdraw from the Convention on Cluster Munitions. The 2008 treaty is an important tool for protecting civilians and ensuring international humanitarian law norms in Lithuania &🌍@unodavienna

[Ban Cluster Bombs @banclusterbombs]

The Convention on Cluster Munitions has saved countless lives. The Lithuanian MoD's proposal to withdraw is a dangerous precedent that could erode the norm against these indiscriminate weapons. We implore Lithuania to reject this move https://t.co/5RY3foFbnm

[Ban Cluster Bombs @banclusterbombs]

News that Lithuania MoD wants to withdraw from the Cluster Munition Convention is HIGHLY DISTURBING! The treaty saves lives by banning an indiscriminate weapon causing unacceptable harm to civilians. We urge 🇱🇹 to reaffirm its commitment to the Convention https://t.co/jgMVMNu24i

#VictimAssistance isn’t just about providing the service (health, education...), it is about changing the systems and infrastructures that enables people to access that service #MineBanIM #inclusion

➡️Eradicate #Landmines - Empower Lives

[HI_Advocacy @HI_Advocacy]

📢Assisting #ExplosiveOrdnance victims isn’t just about responding to the individual who experiences a life changing injury that causes disability, it responds to the child who loses a parent, the household who loses their breadwinner or the family who loses their home #MineBanIM

[HI_Advocacy @HI_Advocacy]

For the future Siem Reap Action Plan #MineBanTreaty, it is crucial to maintain & strengthen commitments to #VictimAssistance, as shown by the needs highlighted in our publication in terms of access to #rehab and #AssistiveTechnology

[HI_Advocacy @HI_Advocacy]

New publication by @HI_federation amplifies voices of people in conflict-affected areas, with one appeal: quality #rehabilitation & #AssistiveTechnology should be provided to all in need, as a matter of rights, #inclusion, dignity. More on our website: https://t.co/aAhmJLSIfy

[INEW @explosiveweapon]

That's a wrap from INEW! The conference has come to a close with incredible final remarks setting the tone for the work going forward and universalisation.

Relive all updates and key moments under the hashtag #EWIPAOslo, until next year at #EWIPACostaRica.

#StopBombingCivilians

[HI_Advocacy @HI_Advocacy]

The German-Ukranian artist trio consisting of @landograffiti, @BERTend2end and zdesroy created an impressive graffiti today outside of the #ProtectionForum24 in Oslo. The clear message: #StopBombingCivilians

[HI_Advocacy @HI_Advocacy]

"75% of Syrians have trauma due to the war, among them my friend Omar. He was deeply traumatized & despite therapy died by suicide a month ago, 8 years after fleeing to Germany" - @MarwaMbayed on the psychological impact of armed conflicts on civilians at the #EWIPA conference.

[Marion Guillaumont @Marion_Gmt]

Tomorrow will take place the 1st follow up conference on the political declaration to better #ProtectCivilians from the use of #ExplosiveWeapons in populated areas
In times of peace, the rights & needs of persons with disabilities are often forgotten. It's even worse in wartime

[NPA Mine Action and Disarmament @NPAdisarm]

I had to stay in my flat, and I was terrified that one of my family members would get injured because of me, because I was in a wheelchair and could not leave, says @NujeenMustafa, Syrian disability rights and refugee activist at #ProtectionForum24

[HI_Advocacy @HI_Advocacy]

Today is the International Day for Mine Awareness!

At the #5RevConf and throughout the year, States must reaffirm their unequivocal attachment to the @MineBanTreaty in particular by condemning all use of #landmines by any actor, under any circumstances

➡️No excuse - to any use!

[HI_Advocacy @HI_Advocacy]

The Intl Mine Awareness Day reminds us the countless victims of #landmines

For them to be able to realize their rights, affected states must develop inclusive policies&services for all those in need to respond to their specific requirements

📢Eradicating Landmines Empower Lives
