Read this @theeln.bsky.social Commentary if you are concerned about demise of humanitarian arms control. 👇‼️
As Gary Toombs @hiuk.bsky.social writes: "Abandoning #APMBC would legitimise view that humanitarian norms are negotiable under pressure. If one treaty falls, others ... may also be weakened."

We all know too well how harmful these weapons are, it is our job to defend the treaty. In ten years we don’t want to be thinking back, regretting that we didn’t challenge states withdrawing from the #APMBC more. It’s a question of human dignity, says HI’s Alma Tazlidzan at #MineBanIM

ICRC president: Civilians will pay the price if global commitment to ban landmines allowed to fracture

The #OttawaConvention stands as one of the most successful disarmament treaties ever negotiated. Civilians will pay the price if global commitment to ban anti-personnel #landmines is allowed to fracture. Weakening or abandoning it also undermines the integrity of #IHL.

On #MineAwarenessDay, we highlight the suffering caused by landmines. The #APMBC remains the strongest legal and normative tool to end their use and impact.

Norway supports mine clearance in 20+ countries, with over $59M in 2024 through partner organizations.

Anti-personnel mines: the false promise of security through exceptionalism in war Efforts to abandon the APMBC challenge fundamental precepts of IHL and undermine essential safeguards for upholding humanity in war.

In this post, @corduladroege.bsky.social & Maya Brehm caution that challenges to the #Anti-Personnel #Mine #Ban #Convention mirror broader threats to #IHL & overlook these treacherous weapons' appalling impacts.

Envoyer des mines antipersonnel en #Ukraine ne constitue pas seulement une violation de la Convention sur l’interdiction des mines antipersonnel ( #APMBC ) pour ce pays, mais représente également une erreur politique majeure de la part des #USA.

💡Over 237 km² was cleared globally in 2023—94% of which in States Parties to the #APMBC! For full & effective implementation of Article5, States Parties should have:
🟢strong national ownership
🟢accurate contamination baselines
🟢mainstream gender, diversity & env.
🟢establish A5 impl. fund

Universalizing the #APMBC is crucial to safeguarding civilians and reinforcing a rules-based international order. Tonga’s commitment to join is a step forward, but challenges like the US transfer of mines to Ukraine threaten the Convention's integrity. We must act to protect it! #5RevCon

Dit is zorgwekkend omdat Oekraïne verdragspartij is bij de #APMBC. Deze kwestie zal waarschijnlijk aan de orde komen tijdens de komende 5e Toetsingsconferentie van de Conventie.

It's a concern because Ukraine is a High Contracting Party to the #APMBC. This issue will likely be addressed at the upcoming 5th Review Conference of the Convention.
