Interesting side-event coming up @MineBanTreaty #MineBanIM - join us today at 12.00 CEST.

[Kaitlin Hodge @Kait_Hodge]

For those attending the #MineBanIM, hope to see you in a few hours for this side event! I'll be speaking on global developments & trends in risk education #innovation💡, but the real highlight will be my co-panelists sharing the latest from the ground in Iraq & Lebanon. #EORE

First time back in the #ConferenceonDisarmament after a while (+ my maternity leave). At the same time it was my last meeting representing the Netherlands 🇳🇱 in this forum. It has been an honour and a pleasure, in particular to work with all the wonderful disarmament colleagues!

[Sachi Claringbould @sachisays]

After four months of maternity leave, first day back in the (home) office. Looking forward to seeing you all again and ‘doing’ some #disarmament.

It was a good week with the fully virtual #18MSP of the @MineBanTreaty under the excellent leadership of Sudan 👏 Many excellent side-events, compact statements and good work on the many extension requests. Very much looking forward to the Netherlands’ presidency starting today!

[Sigrid Kaag @SigridKaag]

As President of the #OttawaConvention the Netherlands will work in 2021 for #MineFreeWorld through a focus on capacity building in mine-affected countries, innovation, and an inclusive approach. Important steps towards a mine-free world as soon as possible. (photos: APMBC)

From my makeshift ‘studio’ at home, delivering the #Netherlands 🇳🇱 statement on mine clearance and mine risk education and reduction at #18MSP @MineBanTreaty Congratulations to Chile and UK for their excellent achievements towards a #minefreeworld

For those who were either asleep or where doing other things when the Netherlands 🇳🇱 delivered its #UNGA #FirstCommittee General Debate statement 😉, please find it here: https://t.co/lCPpjwGOnA It’s an overview of the NL position on #disarmament and international security!

[Mark Zellenrath @MarkZellenrath]

The disarmament architecture we have today is one of the great successes of multilateralism.

It has contributed immensely to our security. But we can’t take it for granted.

The #FirstCommittee at #UNGA75 kicked off and will work hard to tackle the challenges ahead.

[Sachi Claringbould @sachisays]

In #COVID19 times, you suddenly realise what a privilege it is to be able to walk around in the UN #PalaisdesNations on your way to an ‘in person’ meeting with 😷, and to enjoy the #art that fills this historic place #CCWProtocolV #artdeco

[Sachi Claringbould @sachisays]

Wonderful news! ‘Magawa the mine-detecting rat wins PDSA Gold Medal’ - see BBC article. It’s incredible what animals can do. Congratulations ⁦@HeroRATs⁩. Still a while to go though to a #minefreeworld https://t.co/zAsXXnCIbG

Watching the excellent presentations of the Art 5 extension requests by Ukraine 🇺🇦 South Sudan 🇸🇸 Mauritania 🇲🇷 DRC 🇨🇩 of the @MineBanTreaty. Am also impressed with how smooth this ‘online’ format of the #MineBanIM is w/ colleagues ‘calling in’ from all over the world #yesitworks
