Swiss Campaign to Ban Landmines

Within the ICBL, the Swiss Campaign was a member of the Non State Actors Working Group, which it co-chaired until the end of 2004.

The Swiss Campaign has also participated in the creation of Geneva Call, which primarily aims at engaging armed non-state actors in a total ban of antipersonnel landmines.

This programme encourages and supports the mine action sector to mainstream gender through its policy, programming and operations.

[1] The general objective of GMAP is to contribute to the reduction of suffering faced by women, men, girls and boys as landmine victims, survivors, families and members of affected communities.

This complements current efforts within the United Nations system to mainstream gender throughout mine action projects.
