Look at that.. the last remaining signatory to the Mine Ban Treaty who had not yet ratified has now done so. 📣 The Marshall Islands joins the Mine Ban Treaty (will be fully bound on Sept 1). This is a hopeful day for humanitarian disarmament @minefreeworld.bsky.social treaties.un.org/doc/Publicat...

#GoodNews for the laws of war as the Marshall Islands follows thru on its pledge to ratify the 1997 treaty banning antipersonnel landmines. 165 states are now on board the Mine Ban Treaty. @minefreeworld.bsky.social @hrw.org
