ITF at MineBanIM and NDMUN26
The Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention 2023 Intersessional Meetings (MineBanIM) brought together delegates from various countries, international organizations, and NGOs dedicated to achieving a world free of anti-personnel mines. Shortly after, the 26th International Meeting of Mine Action National Directors and United Nations Advisers (NDMUN26) gathered key stakeholders to discuss progress and challenges in mine action, including crosscutting issues like climate, environment, and innovation. These meetings provided crucial opportunities for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and partnerships among experts in the field.
During MineBanIM on June 20th, ITF participated in the Panel on Mine Victim Assistance, sharing insights on good practices in mental health and psychological support based on numerous projects implemented in over 10 countries, which you can watch down below.
