Victim Assistance in Inclusive Development
Development programs often address health systems, governance systems and local authorities, education and work or employment. In all these areas, landmine survivors have the right to be part of the development of their countries, making contributions in the implementation and as beneficiaries of these programs. Additionally, the inclusion of survivors helps to ensure that, as systems are designed and progress, they are being adjusted in ways that are accessible to all persons with disabilities, including landmine survivors.
Taking Action at School or on Campus
Many students and other young people across the globe are already involved in the campaign against landmines. You too can take action in your community, at school or on campus! Start or join a letter-writing campaign, make a presentation to your class or community, and help us spread awareness.
Inspired by Jody Williams' TED talk?
In a recent TEDWomen talk, ICBL Ambassador Jody Williams recalled that in the ICBL, it is collective action that made change possible. quot;One of the things that made this campaign work is that we grew from 2 NGOs to thousands in 90 countries, working together in common cause to ban landmines… It was the actions together of all of us that brought about that change. In my view what we need today is people getting up and taking action… quot; she said. Find out here how you can take action now for a mine-free world!
The 2011 ICBL Action Plan
2011 is another important year for the movement to eradicate landmines. The major milestone of the year will occur in November-December, when the Eleventh Meeting of States Parties to the Mine Ban Treaty is held in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Tuesday, 1 March 2011 will also mark 12 years since the treaty entered into force. This Action Plan by the ICBL details priorities and activities for our campaigning in 2011.
Landmine Ban Makes Gains, But Serious Concerns Remain
During the Tenth Meeting of the States Parties to the Mine Ban Treaty, dozens of countries reported impressive progress in banning antipersonnel mines, clearing mined areas, and assisting victims of the weapon. But four countries remained in violation of the treaty for missing their stockpile destruction deadline, and six countries needed extensions of their clearance deadlines.
