The Sri Lanka Campaign to Ban Landmines (SLCBL) congratulates the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) and the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention (APMBC) on their 30th and 25th Anniversaries this year. The SLCBL commends them for their tireless efforts towards creating a world free of the use, suffering and casualties of anti-personnel mines.
On the 16th December, the SLCBL travelled to the operational areas of The Halo Trust and Mines Advisory Group (MAG) as they celebrate their 20th work Anniversary in Sri Lanka. The HALO Trust and MAG are key operators involved in mine clearance and completion in Sri Lanka. Further, SLCBL thanks them for their work in making Sri Lanka the first mine-free nation in Asia, before 2028.
