The 1997 Nobel Peace Prize co-laureate International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) and its research arm, the Landmine and Cluster Munition Monitor, will be launching its annual global report on landmines, the Landmine Monitor Report 2024, at a press conference at the FCCT in Bangkok, Thailand.The press conference will present the report’s major findings on the efforts by all countries to eradicate antipersonnel landmines and address their long-term impact, providing a global overview of efforts to universalize and fully implement the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty.
In particular, it will provide details on ongoing production, transfers, stockpiling and use of mines; mine contamination and casualties; progress made and improvement required in clearance, risk education and victim assistance; and national and international resources provided to support mine action.
This report is being issued just prior to the Mine Ban Treaty’s 5th Review Conference in Siem Reap, Cambodia, scheduled to take place from 25 to 30 November 2024. Notably, the Review Conference will take place 25 years after the Mine Ban Treaty came into force and in the country whose heavy landmine contamination and survivor-led activism helped create momentum for the ban.
