Campaigning Tools

To help you take action for a mine- and cluster munition-free world, the ICBL and national campaigns have published numerous advocacy tools throughout the years. Get inspiration from the following list, browse our site or visit your national campaign's website for additional advocacy ideas and tools.

Messages booklets

Messages Booklets are prepared for the Meetings of the States Parties (MSP) and the intersessional Standing Committees meetings (ISC) to provide campaigners with specific messages to give to governments, along with quick facts on countries' treaty status and positions.

The Messages Booklets are available in the relevant MSP or ISC pages.

Getting Coverage: A Practical Media Guide

As we advocate to effect social change and influence government policy, engaging with the media can be a useful tool to pressure governments to pay attention to our message, build public awareness, and generate publicity for public events, popular campaign actions and fundraisers. The Cluster Munition Coalition and the International Campaign to Ban Landmines have published a media guide answering these questions:

  • Why engage with the media?
  • What kinds of media exist?
  • When to engage with the media?
  • What to tell them?
  • How to reach them?
  • What tools to use?
