Respect International law.

🧵 1/2 Since 1999, international donor support for mine action has increased. In 2025 the US - which provided 37% of all support between 2019-2023 - announced a halt on support to all Mine Action programs.

In this powerful piece, Prof. Matthew Bolton draws on his personal experience to argue that landmines fail to provide meaningful security, contrary to the position of some European nations who are considering withdrawal from the Mine Ban Treaty.

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.

It may start with #landmines, but the bigger threat lies in the erosion of the laws of war.
Hear from Jody Williams, on why the recent threat of withdrawals by some European nations from the Mine Ban Treaty endangers global norms and civilian lives.

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.

While numerous challenges remain, #landmine use has dramatically dropped over the past 25 years thanks to the Mine Ban Treaty. With their intention to leave the treaty, #Estonia, #Latvia, #Lithuania, #Poland, and #Finland are undermining 25 years of humanitarian progress.

As Finland, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, and Poland consider withdrawing from the treaty, the ICBL’s stance remains clear: Security concerns cannot justify the deployment of weapons that will terrorize civilians for generations.
