The ICBL-CMC is an equal opportunity employer, and we promote diversity.
About the Organization The International Campaign to Ban Landmines – Cluster Munition Coalition (ICBL-CMC) is a global civil society network dedicated to putting an end to the suffering caused by antipersonnel landmines and cluster munitions. The ICBL and CMC campaigns are active in nearly 100 countries, with more than 350 member organizations. The ICBL, recipient of the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize, is recognized as the driving force behind the achievement and ongoing success of the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty. The CMC played a key role in the creation of the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions, and now works for its universalization and implementation.
We seek to prevent all use, production, and trade of these weapons, and to ensure stockpiles are destroyed. We denounce any use of these indiscriminate weapons, and mobilize others to do so to further stigmatize them. We call for accelerated clearance of all landmines, cluster munitions and other explosive remnants of war; and want to see the fulfillment of victims’ rights and needs. The best way to reach these goals is to ensure the universal adherence to, and implementation of, the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty and the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions.
On 1 January 2011, the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) and the Cluster Munition Coalition (CMC) merged to become the ICBL-CMC. Both campaigns and their research initiative--Landmine and Cluster Munition Monitor (“the Monitor”)--operate under one legal, financial and governance structure in order to ensure even more synergy, to have more impact and to streamline cooperation. In practical terms, the ICBL and the CMC remain two separate and strong campaigns with a dedicated team of staff for both. Other staff working on media and communications, finance, logistics and administration and policy support both campaigns. The main offices are currently in Geneva and London.
