An explosive ordnance disposal #EOD technician died in Croatia this week www.index.hr/vijesti/clan...
It's already taken over 25 years for #Croatia to work toward mine clearance.
Withdrawing from conventions that prohibit the use of anti-personnel mines and cluster munitions could cost lives.

The 15 persons who voted in #Poland's Sejm against withdrawing from the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention: Lewica (9 votes—all women), KO (3), Razem (3). Thank you @dziemianowicz-bak.bsky.social @katarzynakot.bsky.social @kucharskadziedzic.bsky.social i in. www.sejm.gov.pl/sejm10.nsf/G...

"The treaty withdrawals threaten to erode fundamental tenets of international humanitarian and human rights law.
Withdrawals from multilateral disarmament treaties have been extremely rare until now, which makes these denunciations grave & concerning."

Withdrawal from both the anti-personnel mine ban convention and the convention on cluster munitions will represent a major step backwards for #Baltic states, #Finland and #Poland (if Poland indeed withdraws—it could still remain party). news.un.org/en/story/202...

#Poland— and more than 160 other countries—pledged to eliminate these indiscriminate explosive weapons from our arsenals given that victims tend to be civilians. Others are animals & the environment. "Deterioration of the security situation" does not justify withdrawal. treaties.unoda.org/t/mine_ban

I emphasize that the research was carried out by Chinese scientists because I lament that U.S. scientists — the USA being among the world's biggest wildlife consumer countries along with China — have not done an introspective study like this one to examine efficacy of domestic policies on #CWT

This would be the largest public lands sell-off in modern U.S. history and it's happening with no hearings, no debate, and no public input.

For time being, exclusion zones on our border seem to help give the military carte blanche in relation to people on the move and high conservation value forests. ecre.org/poland-new-r...
