2012 marks 20 years since the creation of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, founded by six concerned NGOs in New York in 1992.
In its anniversary year the ICBL will challenge the international community to reinvigorate its commitment to reaching a mine-free world, and to put into action the means to achieving this aim within years, not decades.

(Geneva, 12 January 2012): Finland has become the latest nation to join the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty, which comprehensively bans the use, production, trade, and stockpiling of antipersonnel landmines.
Finland deposited its instrument of accession at the United Nations in New York on Monday 9 January 2012, the United Nations has announced.
By giving to the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) you can be part of the Nobel Peace Prizewinning global movement to bring a full stop to the devastating damage landmines continue to cause all over the world.
Antipersonnel landmines claim victims in every corner of the globe each day. Lying in wait for their victims, they do not discriminate between the footfall of a soldier or that of a child, and remain a threat long after conflict ends.
Donate today and join the ICBL in calling for the devastation caused by mines to end in our lifetimes.
