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.

Wars may end, but landmines stay hidden in the ground for years, waiting for an innocent civilian—most likely a child—to kill or maim. This is why the world must uphold the Mine Ban Treaty.

“DAO is more than a service provider. It is a source of hope, confidence, and new opportunities.”

ICBL-CMC commends the vital work of our national member in Afghanistan, the Development Ability Organisation (DAO), in supporting landmine and ERW survivors, women survivors
and caregivers, persons with disabilities, and other marginalized communities.

In this video, DAO shares how its work in Kunar, Logar, and Uruzgan provinces is helping survivors build confidence, strengthen their advocacy skills, access rehabilitation and counseling services, and take on leadership roles in their communities.

Through the ICBL-CMC Investing in Action Programme, DAO is advancing survivor empowerment, disability inclusion, and stronger community-led advocacy for the Mine Ban Treaty and the Convention on Cluster Munitions.

Yesterday we learned the heartbreaking news that two colleagues at Norwegian People's Aid (NPA) were killed, and several others injured, in a reported attack in Ukraine.

NPA's teams do some of the most dangerous and most necessary work there is: clearing landmines, cluster munitions and explosive remnants of war so that communities can return home and rebuild. They put themselves in harm's way so that others can live more safely. That over 450 NPA staff continue this work across Ukraine, even now, speaks to a courage and commitment that is hard to put into words.

To everyone at NPA: we stand with you. Our thoughts are with the families, friends and colleagues of those who lost their lives, and with the injured and their loved ones. Humanitarian workers must never be targets.

The loss of any humanitarian worker is a loss for all of us who share this mission. We grieve alongside you.

“Mines take lives. Mines do not save them.”

The whole room needed to hear this message from Mirsad Tokić, a landmine survivor and former deminer from Croatia. Words he delivered as he opened this week’s Mine Ban Treaty intersessional meetings in Geneva.

Last year, five EU states walked away from this treaty, two of whom are now planning to produce millions of new landmines.

Meanwhile, Croatia completed its clearance and Lebanon, while being in the middle of an armed conflict, chose to join anyway convinced that standing behind the ban is what will ensure the safety of its citizens.
