The USCBL-USCMC strongly condemns the use of internationally banned anti-personnel landmines by any party, regardless of any potential military use, because they disproportionately and indiscriminately kill and maim civilians during, and long after, wars have ended.

The USCBL-USCMC calls for an immediate halt to all use of antipersonnel landmines.

The International Campaign to Ban Landmines and Cluster Munition Coalition (ICBL-CMC) Calls for International Condemnation and Immediate End to Use

On January 31, 2022 -- the second anniversary of the current U.S. landmine policy, enacted by the Trump administration in 2020 and still unchanged by the Biden administration -- the campaign sent a letter to the President, signed by 37 organizations, saying "Two years of this reckless and immoral policy is two years too long. We urge immediate action to ban the use of anti-personnel landmines without geographic exceptions, and to set the U.S. on a short direct path to join the Mine Ban Treaty by 2023."
