The International Campaign to Ban Landmines - Cluster Munition Coalition (ICBL-CMC) is a global network of civil society organizations working towards the elimination of these indiscriminate weapons. We played a key role in the successful negotiation and adoption of the Mine Ban Treaty in 1997 and the Convention on Cluster Munitions in 2008. Our members come from a wide range of backgrounds, including human rights, development, peace and disarmament, and work together to advocate for the universalization and implementation of these treaties, raise awareness about the devastating humanitarian impact of the weapons, and provide support to affected communities. The ICBL received the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize, jointly with its founding coordinator Jody Williams, in recognition of its efforts to bring about the Mine Ban Treaty.
The Monitor is a research initiative of the ICBL-CMC. Our reporting is widely recognized as the authoritative voice on landmines and cluster munitions and is used to inform policy decisions and advocacy efforts to universalize and implement the conventions banning these weapons.

Strategic Direction 2025-2030
The ICBL-CMC 2025-2030 Strategy maintains the organization's longstanding commitment to full universalization and implementation of the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty and the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions. It places greater emphasis on empowering national and regional campaigns and amplifying the voices of survivors and affected communities. These priorities are more relevant than ever, given the alarming resurgence of landmines and cluster munitions use and increase of casualties in conflicts worldwide.
