The Azerbaijan Campaign to Ban Landmines (AzCBL) is a member of the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize winning International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL). As
a national non-governmental organization, operating from Baku,
Azerbaijan, with projects in mine-affected regions of the country, the AzCBL aims to do
its utmost towards creating a landmine-free Azerbaijan. To
date, the government of Azerbaijan, together with the rest of the South
Caucasus region, has not yet joined the more than 80% of the
world’s countries who are currently party to the international Mine Ban Treaty. Making this happen is one of the highest priorities of the AzCBL. Taking
into account the official stance of the governments of Azerbaijan and
Armenia, the AzCBL has promoted the idea of both countries joining and
ratifying the Mine Ban Treaty immediately and simultaneously. In addition to its Mine Ban Treaty advocacy efforts, the AzCBL is devoted to monitoring
all mine action activities in Azerbaijan, conducting research on these
activities for the annual global Landmine Monitor Report,
raising public awareness about the landmine problem in Azerbaijan, and
promoting the physical, psychological and socio-economic rehabilitation of survivors of landmine incidents throughout the
country. |
AzCBL's 10th Anniversary
The AzCBL recently celebrated its 10th anniversary. From its
inception on June 3, 1998 to its most recent press conference on the
same date in 2008, the AzCBL remains Azerbaijan's only truly
independent organization dedicated to building a mine free Azerbaijan
and to assisting those victimized by landmines and cluster munitions in
the republic. For more details on 10 years of the AzCBL's work click here.
