The 25^th annual Landmine Monitor report provides a global overview of efforts to universalize and fully implement the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty, ensuring clearance of mine contaminated areas, delivering risk education to affected communities, and assisting victims of these weapons.

2022 marked 25 years since the adoption and opening for signature of the Mine Ban Treaty and 30 years since the creation of the ICBL. Since then, the treaty has established a strong international framework for the elimination of antipersonnel landmines and has contributed to remarkable results in protecting lives and livelihoods. Landmine Monitor 2023 tracks the progress made and remaining challenges in achieving the treaty’s ultimate objective of a mine-free world.

The report documents recent use and covers mine ban policy, including the status of production, trade, and stockpiling globally. It assesses the impact of mine contamination and casualties, and progress made in clearance, risk education, and victim assistance. Lastly, it outlines global trends in international assistance to mine action as well as available national resources. The report focuses on calendar year 2022, with information included up to October 2023 where possible.
