Landmine Action is an organization working on a variety of issues related to safety and security by means of research and policy influencing at the global level.
Having been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997, it has supported the development of knowledge and new legislation on anti-personnel mines, anti-vehicle mines, cluster munitions, explosive remnants of war, forgotten conflicts, guns, human security, incendiary weapons and less lethal weapons.
With respect to explosive violence, Landmine Action has promoted to approach explosive weapons as a category of their own; stigmatized the use of explosive weapons by states, even under the conditions of an armed conflict, and argued that users of explosive violence should keep accountable and justify the use of it.
Moreover, Landmine Action has sought to raise standards for defining an acceptable use of explosive violence, and is particularly committed to the elimination of such a use in populated areas.
