Voices from the ground

A groundbreaking new report on « Voices from the Ground » shows that, despite progress in stockpile destruction and landmine clearance, governments around the world are not living up to their promises to treat and reintegrate landmine survivors into society. Ten years after the Mine Ban Treaty (MBT) entered into force, 67% of survivors feel that their needs have not been taken into account by national victim assistance plans. The call on governments to implement the Mine Ban Treaty and report release coincide with the start of the Second Preparatory Meeting in Geneva Sept 3-4, when around 150 countries meet to map out the global mine ban action plan for the next five years
