As Liverpool prepare to lift the title for the first time in 30 years, one question remains - why haven't local rivals, Everton offered their congratulations yet? We sent a roving reporter to find out...

🇺🇸 U.S. CITIZENS: Funding for demining in Congress is at risk. We need your help. Cutting demining support would be disastrous for children like Manuel, threatened by landmines. Write to Congress & tell them to support this life-saving work: bit.ly/3isIAK2 #SaveLives

Most landmine casualties today are caused by improvised anti-personnel mines, i.e. “home-made” mines designed to be triggered by a person Like all AP mines they cannot distinguish soldiers from civilians They are banned by @MineBanTreaty #MineBanIM #IHL bit.ly/31Avp3z

IEDs and the Mine Ban Convention: a minefield of definitions? - Humanitarian Law & Policy Blog

Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) can in certain cases fall within the scope of the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention, write Wen Zhou and Andrea Raab.
