As fighting in Ukraine continues, thousands of rounds of ammunition and weapons are left behind. Explosive ordnance is a real threat to civilians and their means to survive.

#19MSP We are disturbed that Eritrea remains in violation of the @MineBanTreaty. We call on States Parties to invoke #Article8 -> utilizing the offices of the #UNSG & preparing for a #fact-finding mission, if necessary

Over the past 14 years, some 40 States Parties to the #MineBanTreaty requested close to 90 extension requests to #clearance deadlines. What was meant to be an exception has become a norm.
Time to take action to put #Article5 implementation back on track!

#19MSP Less than half of Article 7 transparency reports submitted for 2020 include references to gender and diversity. -> States Parties should improve their reporting on gender and diversity considerations

#19MSP #Tajikistan needs additional capacity and $$ to complete clearance of contaminated areas. Survey teams conduct #RiskEducation in #Tajikistan
Mine accidents continue to occur in #Tajikistan. 3 new mine #casualties were recorded in 2020.

.@MineBanTreaty States Parties with smaller #landmine contamination tend to receive less financial support to implement their clearance obligations.
Commitment needed for #MineFreeWorld. Completion is about leaving no one behind!
