About the ICBL-CMC
The ICBL-CMC is a global civil society network dedicated to putting an end to the suffering caused by antipersonnel landmines and cluster munitions. We seek to prevent all use, production, and trade of these weapons, and to ensure stockpiles are destroyed. We call for efficient clearance of all landmines, cluster munitions and explosive remnants of war; and we want to see the fulfillment of victims\\xe2\\x80\\x99 rights and needs. To this end we monitor, analyze, and report on the progress of the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty (MBT) and the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) and advocate for universal adherence to, and implementation of, these conventions.

ICBL-CMC members, including victims of landmines and cluster munitions, take action in around 100 countries. We work in an inclusive manner with these member organizations in a coordinated and flexible network supported by a small team of staff and consultants. The ICBL received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997 for its work to bring about the Mine Ban Treaty.
