Organizer: Foreign Correspondents Club of Thailand

Description:

Join FCCT for an evening of discussion on the achievements and continuing challenges to what UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres called a “near universal convention” brought about by what Dr. Moser-Puangsuwan calls “the most successful social movement of our time.”
In November 2022, the Mine Ban Treaty saw a further increase in governments affirming the landmine ban, even from those which have yet to formally join the treaty. The highest number of UN member states to date voted in favor of the convention and its activities at the most recent meeting of the UN First Committee on Disarmament and International Security.
A panel of experts will discuss recent global and regional achievements in mine clearance and assistance for mine victims, including building international disapproval for any use of these weapons, while tackling challenges to change practices in important outlier nations like Myanmar.
