Since #Russiaโ€™s full-scale invasion began, cluster munitions have caused over 1,200 civilian casualties in #Ukraine. Behind each number is a life forever changed, a family torn apart, a community living in fear.
๐Ÿ‘‰ This is why the work to eradicate these indiscriminate weapons matters more than ever.

While progress is being made, the CMM Report reveals alarming setbacks:
#Lithuania became the first country ever to withdraw from the Convention
#ClusterMunitions continue to be used in conflicts in Myanmar, Russia, Syria, and Ukraine.
#Civilians continue to pay the highest price.

๐Ÿ‘‰ The 2025 Report shows that the Convention on Cluster Munitions is making a real difference. In 2024 alone, States Parties cleared more cluster munition remnants than they did in the previous five years.

This is what humanitarian progress looks like: safe ground for civilians and their futures.

Mr. Volodymyr pictured in the yard of his home near the village of Zarazhne in Kharkiv Oblast. In February 2022 he was injured in a cluster munition strike on Kharkiv city and now has no feeling below his left thigh as a result of nerve damage. The strike, he says, was the first instance of cluster munitions in the war. When you are injured from cluster munitions he says, there is no end. He is a beneficiary of HI with cash assistance. ยฉ C. Wright / ICBL-CMC / HI

Throwback to last weekโ€™s #MineBanIM.

Finlandโ€™s statement on universalization was a masterclass in double standards: explaining why theyโ€™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 ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ญโ€‹

#Angola still faces 67kmยฒ of mine contamination across 16 provinces. In 2023, Angola received $11.2M in mine action aidโ€”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.

Whatever limited military value countries see in anti-personnel mines, it is vastly outweighed by the appalling and long-lasting humanitarian consequences that will be inflicted on their own populations for years after conflicts end.
