Throwback to last week’s #MineBanIM.
Finland’s statement on universalization was a masterclass in double standards: explaining why they’re withdrawing from the treaty while urging others to stay committed.

The world needs more Marshall Islands!
How happy to see the Marshall Islands joining the Mine Ban Treaty 🇲🇭
The last countries to accede to the treaty were the State of Palestine and Sri Lanka both in 2017.

#Angola still faces 67km² of mine contamination across 16 provinces. In 2023, Angola received $11.2M in mine action aid—52% from the #US.
Recent funding cuts to demining raise concerns about future support.

6,000 casualties a year is still too many!
For those contemplating withdrawing from the Mine Ban Treaty: your actions will only lead to increasing the number of casualties in the future, many of whom will be from your own population.

Tackling a Deadly Legacy in Syria
Syrians are returning home to former frontline villages, only to find them riddled with landmines and unexploded ordnance.

At today’s #CCMISM25, we called on states to stand firm against emerging threats to the global ban on cluster munitions, warning that silence or ambiguity is not an option.
Mark Hiznay of @hrw.org sounded the alarm: essential norms protecting civilians are under threat.

Good news from #Cyprus: after a series of talks between the Greek and the Turkish Cypriot leaders, both parties have agreed to cooperate on the removal of landmines between their communities.

Anti-personnel mines and explosive remnants of war kill indiscriminately.
Anti-personnel mines kill and maim indiscriminately. There’s only one way to be safe: To get rid of them.

Landmines kill civilians, in particularly children. It's deeply harmful by Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania and Finland to do this to their own people, their own children. @um.fi @radek-sikorski.bsky.social @tsahkna.bsky.social @baibabraze.bsky.social
