NEW: The Israeli military unlawfully used white phosphorus over homes on March 3, 2026, in the Lebanese town of Yohmor. The use of white phosphorus over residential areas is extremely alarming and will have dire consequences for civilians. Read more: https://bit.ly/4bdqxDt

In its #CCM13MSP General exchange of views, NPA's Dagmar Matúšů emphasized that in times of growing conflict, states must stand firm and oppose any attempts to weaken the hum. disarmament norms they collectively established. Civilians’ safety must remain the highest priority.

Nearly 20 years later, the message is the same: 🚫 Cluster munitions = unacceptable civilian harm. Join NPA tomorrow for the re-launch of our M85 study at #CCM13MSP 🗓 13:00 CET | Geneva & online ⤵️ www.npaid.org/mine-action-...

There is no such thing as responsible use of AP mines. These weapons have no place in modern warfare. They don't defend borders, all they do is kill and maim civilians for years to come. NPA's Dagmar Matúšů with a strong statement on Universalization during #MineBanIM in Geneva.

From ICBL and @npaid.bsky.social event during the #MineBanIM: "These withdrawals are acts of human vandalism and proof of fake security promises. And in ten years from now, we’ll look back and regret not challenging states more forcefully. We built this norm together and we must defend it together”

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

It’s a myth that AP mines protect borders. Armies no longer march across borders, using them for this purpose makes no sense. They are set to kill, responsible use is impossible, civilians don’t have maps, and mines migrate, says NPA’ Jonathon Guthrie at the #MineBanIM NPA/ICBL side event.
