In active and old conflicts alike, explosive devices can threaten communities and prevent them from returning home.

Je remercie tous les Casques bleus qui oeuvrent pour la paix loin de leurs proches. Nous renouvelons notre engagement à travailler avec les États membres & nos partenaires pour garantir que les Casques bleus soient équipés pour répondre aux nouveaux défis en toute sécurité

Explosive Ordnance Risk Education (EORE) is an essential pillar of
#MineAction
that helps communities, incl. children, women & displaced people, identify and avoid explosive devices.
@UNMAS
reached almost 5 million people in 2023.
#NDMUN27
Full report:
The use of explosive devices in conflicts is on the rise but funds to support
#MineAction
are falling short. At the
#NDMUN27
Directors' Meeting today I stressed the need for continuous & flexible funding so UNMAS & its partners can carry out their life-saving work.
@UNMAS
Explosive devices kill or injure someone every hour. Oftentimes a child who thought it was a toy. They also prevent humanitarian aid from accessing the most vulnerable. More than ever we need
#MineAction
to help end the scourge of explosives.

UNIFIL continues its crucial work of supporting local communities. In Al Hinniyah village, our peacekeepers provided vital medical consultations and treatment to residents who have faced difficulties accessing medical services in recent months.
A major shift in global governance is needed to tackle current and future challenges, including the climate crisis and security threats.
'A Breakthrough for People and Planet' report outlines an ambitious plan to strengthen multilateralism.

We must end conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) and hold perpetrators accountable.
@UN
Peacekeeping supports efforts to prevent CRSV, helps victims get the care they need and supports investigations for justice to prevail.
