Our campaigners have returned home with renewed determination to rid the world of these atrocious weapons. This #NonViolenceDay, we recommit to that goal, and we hope the day cluster munitions become a weapon of the past comes sooner rather than later.

Decades after these weapons were dropped, communities there still live with their deadly legacy every day.

The Review Conference may have closed on 18 September, but our work is far from over. Meeting in Laos, one of the countries most contaminated by cluster munitions, was a powerful wake-up call for everyone who attended. #BanClusterBombs

The 3rd Review Conference of the Convention on Cluster Munitions opened in Vientiane. CMC's opening remarks were given by survivor Umarbek Pulodov, who urged states to: universalize the ban with no exceptions, fund survivor support long-term, and center survivors in decisions. bit.ly/46UYlDH

The job is far from done. But today we pause for a second in appreciation of all humanitarians out there, especially mine action workers, for their hard work in making the land we walk on safer. #MineFreeWorld #BanClusterBombs #ActForHumanity

On 3 Aug, the US State Dept. notified Congress of proposed large scale transfers of US-origin cluster munitions from Türkiye to Ukraine. The CMC condemns the plan of this transfer in the strongest terms and calls on all parties not to let it go forward. Read full statement here: bit.ly/45k2JeX

The Coalition's push before the 3rd Review Conference in September is clear: 1- Accelerate ratifications, 2- Encourage accessions, 3- Mobilize States Parties to actively engage their neighbors. Stronger stigma = stronger protection for civilians.

Today in Geneva, CMC launched a Universalization Challenge at the opening of the 1st Preparatory Meeting for the 3rd Review Conference of the Convention on Cluster Munitions. With cluster munition use ongoing, the pressure to strengthen and grow the Convention has never been greater.

We agree, General. Cluster munitions are inherently indiscriminate, which is why 112 countries have banned them under the Convention on Cluster Munitions. The US has not joined. Neither have Iran or Israel. We urge all three governments to act on these words and join the ban.

Both Iran and Israel have used cluster munitions in the past, and neither has joined the Convention. Read more here: www.linkedin.com/posts/intern... #BanClusterBombs

At the First Committee, we urge delegations to: ➡️ Condemn all use of #landmines and #ClusterMunitions, under any circumstances; ➡️ Denounce withdrawals from the treaties; ➡️ Urging all states to join and stop withdrawal plans; ➡️ Vote in favour of the resolutions promoting these life-saving treaties.

Making sure #Landmines and #ClusterMunitions stay on the agenda during #UNGA 👇 In a meeting with UN High Representative Izumi Nakamitsu, Tamar Gabelnick, urged stronger leadership on state withdrawals, and reinforced the call that suspension from the treaties is not permitted.

On World Humanitarian Day, we honours deminers risking their lives to make communities safe from landmines and cluster munitions. Mine action programs are underfunded, which means fewer teams in the field, slower clearance, and communities forced to live longer with fear. #ActForHumanity

Cluster Munition Monitor 2024 reports that from February 2022 to December 2023, a total of 1,023 cluster munition casualties were recorded for #Ukraine. However, the actual number is likely much higher as many casualties go unreported. #MineFreeWorld #BanClusterBombs

In the previous months we’ve heard every excuse to withdraw from these humanitarian disarmament treaties. But there is no justification. Not for landmines. Not for cluster munitions. #MineFreeWorld #BanClusterBombs

Across countries like #Angola, #Myanmar, #Syria, #Cambodia, #Bosnia, and now #Ukraine, landmines and cluster bombs are still claiming lives. These are not distant, past-tense horrors. They are happening right now. Let’s keep working toward a future where no one steps on yesterday’s conflict.
