De facto monitoring regime of the Mine Ban Treaty and Convention on Cluster Munitions

Landmine and Cluster Munition Monitor is an initiative providing research for the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) and the Cluster Munition Coalition (CMC). It produces several research products including the annual Landmine Monitor and Cluster Munition Monitor reports, online country profile reports, as well as factsheets and maps.

Country profiles

Country Profiles include summaries of developments related to mine ban policy, cluster munition ban policy, mine action, casualties and victim assistance, and support for mine action.

Cluster Munition Monitor

Cluster Munition Monitor covers global developments in ban policy, survey and clearance of cluster munition remnants, casualties and victim assistance.

Landmine Monitor

Landmine Monitor provides a global overview of developments in mine ban policy, use, production, trade, and stockpiling, and also includes information on contamination, clearance, casualties, victim assistance, and support for mine action.

Victim Assistance

Since 1999, the Monitor has tracked the provision of assistance to landmine and explosive remnants of war (ERW) victims. Collected here are key country profiles, thematic overviews, briefing papers, factsheets, and infographics.

Interactive Maps

Monitor interactive maps present treaty status, stockpiles, contamination, and casualties data on landmines and cluster munitions, primarily based on the latest Monitor annual reports. (Please see more information at the bottom of the page.)
